Integration with RFM & Chipcon radio stacks; supports nesC 1.1
Simple key management; should be transparent
TinySec Evaluation
Wins:
Performance is ok
Integration seems truly easy
Neutral:
Out of scope: per-node keying, re-keying, sophisticated key
mgmt; PKI; secure link-layer ACKs
No security against insider attacks;
What if a node is captured, stolen, or compromised?
Losses:
Not turned on by default in TinyOS yet
