FESCo issue: #2777
Tracker bug: #2075529
Release Notes tracker: #818

Detailed Description

The ability for an IoT or Edge device to be plugged in and automatically onboard itself with zero user interaction is critical to be able to scale IoT/Edge to millions of devices. To do this in a secure way with open standards across the industry is even more critical. The FIDO IoT working group has worked with leaders in the silicon industry such as Intel and Arm to produce the FIDO Device onboarding spec which allows a device credential, a root and chain of trust to ensure the secure onboarding of a device without the need of stored credentials.

Benefit to Fedora

The benefit to Fedora is to allow the IoT Edition to demonstrate the use of leading edge open industry protocols for onboarding IoT and Edge devices.

Scope

Proposal owners:
- Package the rust implementation of the FIDO device onboarding stack including client, rendezvous service, owner onboarding service and prototype manufacturing service.
- Enable the client service by default for IoT Edition
- Add the client service to the IoT Edition deliverables

Other developers:
- No impact

Upgrade/compatibility impact

There is no upgrade impact. FIDO FDO is a single use onboarding protocol and will not impact existing IoT user systems.

How To Test

Test with FDO all-in-one services. Documentation will be available for testing.

User Experience
