Device Password-Free Authentication

Every information technology device should be address configured to share their IPv6 addresses securely, without hand-typed passwords.

MAC addresses do not always provide the answer.

A simple solution is to create a comma separated variable protocol for all smart devices.

The Protocol

Time must be in 24 hour format for the solution to be a uniform resource:

Device number is a natural number

Timestamps are precise to the current minute. Timestamps are the variable source of absolute uniqueness when compounded with an array of constants.

Address = time , device type , device number

Public Key = device type [ i ] , device number [ i ] , UTC +0 timestamp [ i ]

Private Key = device type [ i ] , device number [ i ] , local UTC timestamp [ i ]

The protocol allows for device to device connection. The first two columns form the primary key and the timpstamp column is the second factor of the authentication protocol.

Hand-typed passwords become obselete with the protocol in place.
