+1. Introduction
+
+ This document describes a new Uniform Resource Name (URN) [RFC8141]
+ namespace for hardware device identifiers. A general representation
+ of device identity can be useful in many applications, such as in
+ sensor data streams and storage or in equipment inventories [RFC7252]
+ [RFC8428] [CoRE-RD].
+
+ A URN-based representation can be passed along in applications that
+ need the information. It fits particularly well for protocols
+ mechanisms that are designed to carry URNs [RFC7230] [RFC7540]
+ [RFC3261] [RFC7252]. Finally, URNs can also be easily carried and
+ stored in formats such as XML [W3C.REC-xml-19980210], JSON [RFC8259],
+ or SenML [RFC8428]. Using URNs in these formats is often preferable
+ as they are universally recognized and self-describing and therefore
+ avoid the need to agree to interpret an octet string as a specific
+ form of a Media Access Control (MAC) address, for instance. Passing
+ URNs may consume additional bytes compared to, for instance, passing
+ 4-byte binary IPv4 addresses, but the former offers some flexibility
+ in return.
+
+ This document defines identifier URN types for situations where no
+ such convenient type already exists. For instance, [RFC6920] defines
+ cryptographic identifiers, [RFC7254] defines International Mobile
+ station Equipment Identity (IMEI) identifiers for use with 3GPP
+ cellular systems, and [RFC8464] defines Mobile Equipment Identity
+ (MEID) identifiers for use with 3GPP2 cellular systems. Those URN
+ types should be employed when such identifiers are transported; this
+ document does not redefine these identifiers in any way.
+
+ Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) URNs [RFC4122] are another
+ alternative way to represent device identifiers and already support
+ MAC addresses as one type of identifier. However, UUIDs can be
+ inconvenient in environments where it is important that the
+ identifiers be as simple as possible and where additional
+ requirements on stable storage, real-time clocks, and identifier
+ length can be prohibitive. Often, UUID-based identifiers are
+ preferred for general purpose uses instead of the MAC-based device
+ URNs defined in this document. The device URNs are recommended for
+ constrained environments.
+
+ Future device identifier types can extend the device URN type defined
+ in this document (see Section 7), or they can define their own URNs.
+
+ Note that long-term stable unique identifiers are problematic for
+ privacy reasons and should be used with care as described in
+ [RFC7721].
+
+ The rest of this document is organized as follows. Section 3 defines
+ the "DEV" URN type, and Section 4 defines subtypes for IEEE MAC-48,
+ EUI-48 and EUI-64 addresses, and 1-Wire device identifiers.
+ Section 5 gives examples. Section 6 discusses the security and
+ privacy considerations of the new URN type. Finally, Section 7
+ specifies the IANA registration for the new URN type and sets
+ requirements for subtype allocations within this type.
+
+2. Requirements Language
+
+ The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
+ "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
+ "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
+ BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
+ capitals, as shown here.
+
+3. DEV URN Definition
+
+ Namespace Identifier: "dev"
+
+ Version: 1
+
+ Date: 2020-06-24
+
+ Registrant: IETF and the CORE Working Group. Should the working
+ group cease to exist, discussion should be directed to the
+ Applications and Real-Time Area or general IETF discussion forums,
+ or the IESG.
+
+3.1. Purpose
+
+ The DEV URNs identify devices with device-specific identifiers such
+ as network card hardware addresses. DEV URNs are scoped to be
+ globally applicable (see [RFC8141], Section 6.4.1) and, in general,
+ enable systems to use these identifiers from multiple sources in an
+ interoperable manner. Note that in some deployments, ensuring
+ uniqueness requires care if manual or local assignment mechanisms are
+ used, as discussed in Section 3.3.
+
+ Some typical DEV URN applications include equipment inventories and
+ smart object systems.
+
+ DEV URNs can be used in various ways in applications, software
+ systems, and network components, in tasks ranging from discovery (for
+ instance, when discovering 1-Wire network devices or detecting MAC-
+ addressable devices on a LAN) to intrusion detection systems and
+ simple catalogues of system information.
+
+ While it is possible to implement resolution systems for specific
+ applications or network locations, DEV URNs are typically not used in
+ a way that requires resolution beyond direct observation of the
+ relevant identifier fields in local link communication. However, it
+ is often useful to be able to pass device identifier information in
+ generic URN fields in databases or protocol fields, which makes the
+ use of URNs for this purpose convenient.
+
+ The DEV URN namespace complements existing namespaces such as those
+ involving IMEI or UUID identifiers. DEV URNs are expected to be a
+ part of the IETF-provided basic URN types, covering identifiers that
+ have previously not been possible to use in URNs.
+
+3.2. Syntax
+
+ The identifier is expressed in ASCII characters and has a
+ hierarchical structure as follows:
+
+ devurn = "urn:dev:" body componentpart
+ body = macbody / owbody / orgbody / osbody / opsbody / otherbody
+ macbody = %s"mac:" hexstring
+ owbody = %s"ow:" hexstring
+ orgbody = %s"org:" posnumber "-" identifier *( ":" identifier )
+ osbody = %s"os:" posnumber "-" serial *( ":" identifier )
+ opsbody = %s"ops:" posnumber "-" product "-" serial
+ *( ":" identifier )
+ otherbody = subtype ":" identifier *( ":" identifier )
+ subtype = LALPHA *(DIGIT / LALPHA)
+ identifier = 1*devunreserved
+ identifiernodash = 1*devunreservednodash
+ product = identifiernodash
+ serial = identifier
+ componentpart = *( "_" identifier )
+ devunreservednodash = ALPHA / DIGIT / "."
+ devunreserved = devunreservednodash / "-"
+ hexstring = 1*(hexdigit hexdigit)
+ hexdigit = DIGIT / "a" / "b" / "c" / "d" / "e" / "f"
+ posnumber = NZDIGIT *DIGIT
+ ALPHA = %x41-5A / %x61-7A
+ LALPHA = %x41-5A
+ NZDIGIT = %x31-39
+ DIGIT = %x30-39
+
+ The above syntax is represented in Augmented Backus-Naur Form (ABNF)
+ as defined in [RFC5234] and [RFC7405]. The syntax also copies the
+ DIGIT and ALPHA rules originally defined in [RFC5234], exactly as
+ defined there.
+
+ The device identifier namespace includes five subtypes (see
+ Section 4), and more may be defined in the future as specified in
+ Section 7.
+
+ The optional underscore-separated components at the end of the DEV
+ URN depict individual aspects of a device. The specific strings and
+ their semantics are up to the designers of the device but could be
+ used to refer to specific interfaces or functions within the device.
+
+ With the exception of the MAC address and 1-Wire DEV URNs, each DEV
+ URN may also contain optional colon-separated identifiers. These are
+ provided for extensibility.
+
+ There are no special character encoding rules or considerations for
+ conforming with the URN syntax beyond those applicable for URNs in
+ general [RFC8141] or the context where these URNs are carried (e.g.,
+ inside JSON [RFC8259] or SenML [RFC8428]). Due to the SenML rules in
+ [RFC8428], Section 4.5.1, it is not desirable to use percent-encoding
+ in DEV URNs, and the subtypes defined in this specification do not
+ really benefit from percent-encoding. However, this specification
+ does not deviate from the general syntax of URNs or their processing
+ and normalization rules as specified in [RFC3986] and [RFC8141].
+
+ DEV URNs do not use r-, q-, or f-components as defined in [RFC8141].
+
+ Specific subtypes of DEV URNs may be validated through mechanisms
+ discussed in Section 4.
+
+ The string representation of the device identifier URN is fully
+ compatible with the URN syntax.
+
+3.2.1. Character Case and URN-Equivalence
+
+ The DEV URN syntax allows both uppercase and lowercase characters.
+ The URN-equivalence of the DEV URNs is defined per [RFC8141],
+ Section 3.1, i.e., two URNs are URN-equivalent if their assigned-name
+ portions are octet-by-octet equal after applying case normalization
+ to the URI scheme ("urn") and namespace identifier ("dev"). The rest
+ of the DEV URN is compared in a case-sensitive manner. It should be
+ noted that URN-equivalence matching merely quickly shows that two
+ URNs are definitely the same for the purposes of caching and other
+ similar uses. Two DEV URNs may still refer to the same entity and
+ may not be found to be URN-equivalent according to the [RFC8141]
+ definition. For instance, in ABNF, strings are case insensitive (see
+ [RFC5234], Section 2.3), and a MAC address could be represented
+ either with uppercase or lowercase hexadecimal digits.
+
+ Character case is not otherwise significant for the DEV URN subtypes
+ defined in this document. However, future subtypes might include
+ identifiers that use encodings such as base64, which encodes strings
+ in a larger variety of characters and might even encode binary data.
+
+ To facilitate equivalence checks, it is RECOMMENDED that
+ implementations always use lowercase letters where they have a choice
+ in case, unless there is a reason otherwise. (Such a reason might
+ be, for instance, the use of a subtype that requires the use of both
+ uppercase and lowercase letters.)
+
+3.3. Assignment
+
+ The process for identifier assignment is dependent on the used
+ subtype and is documented in the specific subsection under Section 4.
+
+ Device identifiers are generally expected to identify a unique
+ device, barring the accidental issue of multiple devices with the
+ same identifiers. In many cases, device identifiers can also be
+ changed by users or are sometimes assigned in an algorithmic or local
+ fashion. Any potential conflicts arising from such assignments are
+ not something that the DEV URNs as such manage; they simply are there
+ to refer to a particular identifier. And, of course, a single device
+ may (and often does) have multiple identifiers, e.g., identifiers
+ associated with different link technologies it supports.
+
+ The DEV URN type SHOULD only be used for hardware-based identifiers
+ that are expected to be persistent (with some limits, as discussed
+ above).
+
+3.4. Security and Privacy
+
+ As discussed in Section 6, care must be taken in the use of device-
+ identifier-based identifiers due to their nature as long-term
+ identifiers that are not normally changeable. Leakage of these
+ identifiers outside systems where their use is justified should be
+ controlled.
+
+3.5. Interoperability
+
+ There are no specific interoperability concerns.
+
+3.6. Resolution
+
+ The device identifiers are not expected to be globally resolvable.
+ No identifier resolution system is expected. Systems may perform
+ local matching of identifiers to previously seen identifiers or
+ configured information, however.
+
+3.7. Documentation
+
+ See RFC 9039.
+
+3.8. Additional Information
+
+ See Section 1 for a discussion of related namespaces.
+
+3.9. Revision Information
+
+ This is the first version of this registration.
+
+4. DEV URN Subtypes
+
+4.1. MAC Addresses
+
+ DEV URNs of the "mac" subtype are based on the EUI-64 identifier
+ [IEEE.EUI64] derived from a device with a built-in 64-bit EUI-64.
+ The EUI-64 is formed from 24 or 36 bits of organization identifier
+ followed by 40 or 28 bits of device-specific extension identifier
+ assigned by that organization.
+
+ In the DEV URN "mac" subtype, the hexstring is simply the full EUI-64
+ identifier represented as a hexadecimal string. It is always exactly
+ 16 characters long.
+
+ MAC-48 and EUI-48 identifiers are also supported by the same DEV URN
+ subtype. To convert a MAC-48 address to an EUI-64 identifier, the
+ Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) of the MAC-48 address (the
+ first three octets) becomes the organization identifier of the EUI-64
+ (the first three octets). The fourth and fifth octets of the EUI are
+ set to the fixed value 0xffff (hexadecimal). The last three octets
+ of the MAC-48 address become the last three octets of the EUI-64.
+ The same process is used to convert an EUI-48 identifier, but the
+ fixed value 0xfffe is used instead.
+
+ Identifier assignment for all of these identifiers rests within the
+ IEEE Registration Authority.
+
+ Note that where randomized MAC addresses are used, the resulting DEV
+ URNs cannot be expected to have uniqueness, as discussed in
+ Section 3.3.
+
+4.2. 1-Wire Device Identifiers
+
+ The 1-Wire system is a device communications bus system designed by
+ Dallas Semiconductor Corporation. (1-Wire is a registered trademark.)
+ 1-Wire devices are identified by a 64-bit identifier that consists of
+ an 8-bit family code, a 48-bit identifier unique within a family, and
+ an 8-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) code [OW].
+
+ In DEV URNs with the "ow" subtype, the hexstring is a representation
+ of the full 64-bit identifier as a hexadecimal string. It is always
+ exactly 16 characters long. Note that the last two characters
+ represent the 8-bit CRC code. Implementations MAY check the validity
+ of this code.
+
+ Family code and identifier assignment for all 1-Wire devices rests
+ with the manufacturers.
+
+4.3. Organization-Defined Identifiers
+
+ Device identifiers that have only a meaning within an organization
+ can also be used to represent vendor-specific or experimental
+ identifiers or identifiers designed for use within the context of an
+ organization.
+
+ Organizations are identified by their Private Enterprise Number (PEN)
+ [RFC2578]. These numbers can be obtained from IANA. Current PEN
+ assignments can be viewed at <https://www.iana.org/assignments/
+ enterprise-numbers/>, and new assignments are requested at
+ <https://pen.iana.org/pen/PenApplication.page>.
+
+ Note that when included in an "org" DEV URN, the number cannot be
+ zero or have leading zeroes, as the ABNF requires the number to start
+ with a non-zero digit.
+
+4.4. Organization Serial Numbers
+
+ The "os" subtype specifies an organization and serial number.
+ Organizations are identified by their PEN. As with the organization-
+ defined identifiers (Section 4.3), PEN number assignments are
+ maintained by IANA, and assignments for new organizations can be made
+ easily.
+
+ | Historical note: The "os" subtype was originally defined in the
+ | Open Mobile Alliance "Lightweight Machine to Machine" standard
+ | [LwM2M] but has been incorporated here to collect all syntaxes
+ | associated with DEV URNs in one place. At the same time, the
+ | syntax of this subtype was changed to avoid the possibility of
+ | characters that are not allowed in the SenML Name field (see
+ | [RFC8428], Section 4.5.1).
+
+ Organization serial number DEV URNs consist of the PEN number and the
+ serial number. As with other DEV URNs, for carrying additional
+ information and extensibility, optional colon-separated identifiers
+ and underscore-separated components may also be included. The serial
+ numbers themselves are defined by the organization, and this
+ specification does not specify how they are allocated.
+
+ Organizations are also encouraged to select serial number formats
+ that avoid the possibility of ambiguity in the form of leading zeroes
+ or otherwise.
+
+4.5. Organization Product and Serial Numbers
+
+ The DEV URN "ops" subtype was originally defined in the LwM2M
+ standard but has been incorporated here to collect all syntaxes
+ associated with DEV URNs in one place. The "ops" subtype specifies
+ an organization, product class, and a serial number. Organizations
+ are identified by their PEN. Again, as with the organization-defined
+ identifiers (Section 4.3), PEN number assignments are maintained by
+ IANA.
+
+ | Historical note: As with the "os" subtype, the "ops" subtype
+ | was originally defined in the Open Mobile Alliance "Lightweight
+ | Machine to Machine" standard [LwM2M].
+
+ Organization product and serial number DEV URNs consist of the PEN
+ number, product class, and the serial number. As with other DEV
+ URNs, for carrying additional information and extensibility, optional
+ colon-separated identifiers and underscore-separated components may
+ also be included. Both the product class and serial numbers
+ themselves are defined by the organization, and this specification
+ does not specify how they are allocated.
+
+ Organizations are also encouraged to select product and serial number
+ formats that avoid possibility for ambiguity.
+
+4.6. Future Subtypes
+
+ Additional subtypes may be defined in future specifications. See
+ Section 7.
+
+ The DEV URN "example" subtype is reserved for use in examples. It
+ has no specific requirements beyond those expressed by the ABNF in
+ Section 3.2.
+
+5. Examples
+
+ The following provides some examples of DEV URNs:
+
+ +=========================================+=========================+
+ | URN | Description |
+ +=========================================+=========================+
+ | urn:dev:mac:0024beffff804ff1 | The MAC-48 address of |
+ | | 0024be804ff1, |
+ | | converted to EUI-64 |
+ | | format |
+ +-----------------------------------------+-------------------------+
+ | urn:dev:mac:0024befffe804ff1 | The EUI-48 address of |
+ | | 0024be804ff1, |
+ | | converted to EUI-64 |
+ | | format |
+ +-----------------------------------------+-------------------------+
+ | urn:dev:mac:acde48234567019f | The EUI-64 address of |
+ | | acde48234567019f |
+ +-----------------------------------------+-------------------------+
+ | urn:dev:ow:10e2073a01080063 | A 1-Wire temperature |
+ | | sensor |
+ +-----------------------------------------+-------------------------+
+ | urn:dev:ow:264437f5000000ed_humidity | The humidity part of |
+ | | a multi-sensor device |
+ +-----------------------------------------+-------------------------+
+ | urn:dev:ow:264437f5000000ed_temperature | The temperature part |
+ | | of a multi-sensor |
+ | | device |
+ +-----------------------------------------+-------------------------+
+ | urn:dev:org:32473-foo | An organization- |
+ | | specific URN in the |
+ | | example organization |
+ | | 32473 in [RFC5612] |
+ +-----------------------------------------+-------------------------+
+ | urn:dev:os:32473-123456 | Device 123456 in the |
+ | | example organization |
+ | | in [RFC5612] |
+ +-----------------------------------------+-------------------------+
+ | urn:dev:os:32473-12-34-56 | A serial number with |
+ | | dashes in it |
+ +-----------------------------------------+-------------------------+
+ | urn:dev:ops:32473-Refrigerator-5002 | Refrigerator serial |
+ | | number 5002 in the |
+ | | example organization |

+ +-----------------------------------------+-------------------------+
+ | urn:dev:example:new-1-2-3_comp | An example of |
+ | | something that is not |
+ | | defined today, and is |
+ | | not one of the mac, |
+ | | ow, os, or ops |
+ | | subtypes |
+ +-----------------------------------------+-------------------------+
+
+ Table 1
+
+ The DEV URNs themselves can then appear in various contexts. A
+ simple example of this is the use of DEV URNs in SenML data. This
+ example from [RFC8428] shows a measurement from a 1-Wire temperature
+ gauge encoded in the JSON syntax:
+
+ [
+ {"n":"urn:dev:ow:10e2073a01080063","u":"Cel","v":23.1}
+ ]
+
+6. Security Considerations
+
+ On most devices, the user can display device identifiers. Depending
+ on circumstances, device identifiers may or may not be modified or
+ tampered with by the user. An implementation of the DEV URN MUST
+ preserve such limitations and behaviors associated with the device
+ identifiers. In particular, a device identifier that is intended to
+ be immutable should not become mutable as a part of implementing the
+ DEV URN type. More generally, nothing in this document should be
+ construed to override what the relevant device specifications have
+ already said about the identifiers.
+
+6.1. Privacy
+
+ Other devices in the same network may or may not be able to identify
+ the device. For instance, on an Ethernet network, the MAC address of
+ a device is visible to all other devices.
+
+ DEV URNs often represent long-term stable unique identifiers for
+ devices. Such identifiers may have privacy and security implications
+ because they may enable correlating information about a specific
+ device over a long period of time, location tracking, and device-
+ specific vulnerability exploitation [RFC7721]. Also, in some
+ systems, there is no easy way to change the identifier. Therefore,
+ these identifiers need to be used with care, and special care should
+ be taken to avoid leaking identifiers outside of the system that is
+ intended to use them.
+
+6.2. Validity
+
+ Information about identifiers may have significant effects in some
+ applications. For instance, in many sensor systems, the identifier
+ information is used for deciding how to use the data carried in a
+ measurement report. In some other systems, identifiers may be used
+ in policy decisions.
+
+ It is important that systems be designed to take into account the
+ possibility of devices reporting incorrect identifiers (either
+ accidentally or maliciously) and the manipulation of identifiers in
+ communications by illegitimate entities. Integrity protection of
+ communications or data objects, the use of trusted devices, and
+ various management practices can help address these issues.
+
+ Similar to the advice in [RFC4122], Section 6: Do not assume that DEV
+ URNs are hard to guess.
+
+7. IANA Considerations
+
+ Per this document, IANA has registered a new URN namespace for "dev",
+ as described in Section 3.
+
+ IANA has created a "DEV URN Subtypes" registry under "Device
+ Identification". The initial values in this registry are as follows:
+
+ +=========+===========================+=======================+
+ | Subtype | Description | Reference |
+ +=========+===========================+=======================+
+ | mac | MAC Addresses | RFC 9039, Section 4.1 |
+ +---------+---------------------------+-----------------------+
+ | ow | 1-Wire Device Identifiers | RFC 9039, Section 4.2 |
+ +---------+---------------------------+-----------------------+
+ | org | Organization-Defined | RFC 9039, Section 4.3 |
+ | | Identifiers | |
+ +---------+---------------------------+-----------------------+
+ | os | Organization Serial | RFC 9039, Section 4.4 |
+ | | Numbers | |
+ +---------+---------------------------+-----------------------+
+ | ops | Organization Product and | RFC 9039, Section 4.5 |
+ | | Serial Numbers | |
+ +---------+---------------------------+-----------------------+
+ | example | Reserved for examples | RFC 9039, Section 4.6 |
+ +---------+---------------------------+-----------------------+
+
+ Table 2
+
+ Additional subtypes for DEV URNs can be defined through Specification
+ Required or IESG Approval [RFC8126]. These allocations are
+ appropriate when there is a new namespace of some type of device
+ identifier that is defined in a stable fashion and has a publicly
+ available specification.
+
+ Note that the organization (Section 4.3) device identifiers can also
+ be used in some cases, at least as a temporary measure. It is
+ preferable, however, that long-term usage of a broadly employed
+ device identifier be registered with IETF rather than used through
+ the organization device identifier type.
