Yesterday I talked with Phoebe about "very simple to use" usecase for the userspace application. In the discussion we end with the idea to have an userspace application for load/store the security mib. Phoebe said it should be something like what iptables do: Like "ip6tables-save" and "ip6tables-restore". This will simple save the actual mib in a file and restore them from file, these files should contain the same file format for representing the mib. Later there should be also the possibility to change the mib during runtime while a mib is already loaded, but at first the save/restore sounds the most use case. You can still manipulate the mib security structure in the configuration file which represents the mib, but need to run a completely restore afterwards. Maybe we can start a discussion about the "file format" which represents the mib. This should be some simple format. Not xml/json which adds library dependencies. - Alex [0] https://github.com/linux-wpan/linux-wpan-next/tree/nl802154_llsec
