This document describes the initial set of design pattern and vocabulary extensions to the WoT Thing Description that make up the Protocol Binding Templates. It is expected over time that additional protocols will be accommodated by further extending the Binding Templates, adding new vocabulary and new design patterns.

This document provides non-normative guidance on Web of Things (WoT) security and privacy. The Web of Things is descriptive, not prescriptive, and so is generally designed to support the security models and mechanisms of the systems it describes, not introduce new ones. However, a WoT system also has its own unique assets, such as a Scripting API and Thing Descriptions, that need to be protected and also have security and privacy implications.
