Thank you for your interest in helping build the IoT Integrity Verification Protocol!
IoTIVP is an early-stage but growing open standard focused on secure, trustworthy IoT data.
Use GitHub Issues to:
- Report bugs
- Suggest improvements
- Request features
- Ask questions about implementation
Before opening a PR:
- Open an issue describing the change
- Keep PRs small and focused
- Follow the repository’s style and folder structure
If the org eventually enables GitHub Discussions, it will be used for:
- Architecture questions
- Protocol debates
- Help with implementation
- Integration examples
- Use clear, readable code
- No unnecessary complexity
- Add docstrings
- Keep functions pure when possible
If adding new components:
- Include small, self-contained test scripts
- Ensure decoding/encoding logic remains deterministic
- Do not introduce breaking changes without discussion
IoTIVP deals with cryptographic integrity.
Do not commit:
- secrets
- private keys
- device-specific credentials
- sensitive environment variables
If you find a security issue, contact maintainers privately.
Even early suggestions help shape IoTIVP into a global standard.
Your feedback is welcome and valued.
