I posted this email to the TEEP and SUIT lists and I received a suggestion to also include RATS in the hackathon/tutorial effort.
After thinking for a little while I believe that's actually not such a bad idea given that the low level code on a microcontroller will contain the attestation functionality. To combine SUIT and RATS on a v8-M TrustZone device, for example, would allow us to prototype a complete solution (and luckily there is also some code we can make use of).

So, if someone of you is interested in this hackathon/tutorial effort described below (date early next year) please drop me an email.

Subject: [Teep] Tutorial and Hackathon

Hi all,

at the Montreal meeting we briefly talked about the idea of organizing a tutorial followed by a hackathon for SUIT and TEEP.
A few discussions later we came up with the following story.

Thomas Schmidt (HAW Hamburg) offered to host the event in Berlin. As a date around Jan/Feb 2020 looks more realistic to prepare all the necessary material. The idea was to create a virtual machine with the development environment pre-installed and to make it available to the interested participants well in advance so that we don't have to waste time with tool/IDE problems. This virtual machine image would primarily be used for embedded development. For the TEEP story a separate setup will be needed to support TrustZone/SGX-based devices (since the development environments are different). The virtual machine setup for embedded development would be tailored to a specific embedded hardware and we haven't decided yet what hardware to use. The SUIT hackathon demo boards used in earlier IETF Hackathons may be an reasonable choice. Thoughts are nevertheless welcome. At the tutorial we would get participants up to speed on the most recent protocol/manifest format and the already written tools (e.g., the Python tool to create a manifest) so that time at the hackathon is spent as productive as possible.

We thought it makes sense to cover both SUIT and TEEP in a single event because both groups plan to the manifest format and some of the use cases overlap.

Russ suggested to conclude the event with a virtual interim meeting (maybe an hour long) to discuss the lessons learned.

As you can see, the event is focused on hands-on work and hence we will not offer remote participation possibilities. If you are not interested in writing code this event is likely not very useful for you.

We need your feedback:

  *   Would you like to participate in such an event?
  *   In case you know already, what topic would you like to explore at the event?
  *   Is the Jan/Feb 2020 timeframe good for you?
  *   Is your interest in TEEP, SUIT, or both?
  *   Do you have additional suggestions for getting most out of this event?

Ciao
Hannes
