FOREWORD
1) ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission)
form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC
participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the
respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees
collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental,
in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC and ISO on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested IEC and ISO National bodies.
3) IEC and ISO documents have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC and
ISO National bodies in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of
IEC and ISO documents is accurate, IEC and ISO cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used
or for any misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC and ISO National bodies undertake to apply IEC and
ISO documents transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any
divergence between any IEC and ISO document and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be
clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC and ISO do not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC and ISO marks of conformity. IEC and ISO are not
responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this document.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC and ISO or their directors, employees, servants or agents including individual
experts and members of its technical committees and IEC and ISO National bodies for any personal injury,
property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including
legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this ISO/IEC document or any
other IEC and ISO documents.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this document. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this document.
9) IEC and ISO draw attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC and ISO take no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC and ISO had not received notice of
(a) patent(s), which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this
may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
https://patents.iec.ch and www.iso.org/patents. IEC and ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or
all such patent rights.

INTRODUCTION
The IoT environment has become widespread, dynamic, and complex, and is constantly
evolving. IoT objects and their associations to users, or to other objects, should be identified.
Current identification approaches rely on proper device categorization based on pre-determined
taxonomies. Once categorized, devices advertise themselves to the network. When new types
of IoT objects emerge, the taxonomy is renewed and new IDs are assigned.
As a complement to existing solutions, this document simplifies the requirements imposed on
devices through the adoption of an autonomous procedure. This method reduces the need for
detailed classification, standardization, and certification of device types by eliminating the need
for devices to self-identify and advertise.
This document focuses on the requirements and the framework for autonomous identification
of IoT objects, especially in connected home environments. The objects in this document
include IoT devices and applications. The IoT object identification is to identify the IoT object
type and the associations among the IoT objects.
Inspecting data patterns produced by IoT objects allows for autonomous type and association
identification. The data patterns may be inspected if the IoT object has given explicit consent.
The data patterns to be inspected can be a selected feature from the raw data such as the port
number and protocol number. An accumulated feature set over time can also be used –
minimum or maximum packet size, average input rate, average inter-arrival times of packets,
and so on – if the IoT object gives explicit consent to allow the collection and storage of such
data.
By doing so, the need for detailed classification, standardization, and certification of object
types is reduced; and devices are relieved from the burdens of identifying and advertising
themselves. It will motivate and spread the development of new types of IoT objects.
Developments towards heterogeneous IoT objects will enable increased protections for devices
and users against malicious attacks, hazards from malfunctions, or health-related critical issues.
