Mathematical Mesh Part IX: Considerations for use on Constrained Devices
draft-hallambaker-mesh-constrained-00

Abstract

The Mathematical Mesh 'The Mesh' is an infrastructure that facilitates the exchange of configuration and credential data between multiple user devices and provides end-to-end security. This document describes the
