“…Future work in this area includes, e.g., designing and evaluating a proxy solution for DIDs, an evaluation of the benefits and drawbacks of DIDs compared to other identifier solutions, including roles/attributes-based solutions (e.g., [44]), token-based solutions (e.g., OpenID as used in [45]), capabilities-based solutions (e.g., [46]), and others. Another area for future work is studying how the use of DIDs could enhance the general IoT authorisation problem, i.e., how the user gets access to some device, which is managed by some party.…”

When IoT devices operate not only with the owner of the device but also with third parties, identifying the device using a permanent identifier, e.g., a hardware identifier, can present privacy problems due to the identifier facilitating tracking and correlation attacks. A changeable identifier can be used to reduce the risk on privacy. This paper looks at using decentralised identifiers (DIDs), an upcoming standard of self-sovereign identifiers with multiple competing implementations, with IoT devices. The paper analyses the resource requirements of running DIDs on the IoT devices and finds that even quite small devices can successfully deploy DIDs and proposes that the most constrained devices could rely on a proxy approach. Finally, the privacy benefits and limitations of using DIDs are analysed, with the conclusion that DIDs significantly improve the users’ privacy when utilised properly.

“…Further, this solution does not seamlessly support mobility, which is a major requirement of the future Internet and a desirable characteristic for IoT applications. Recently, several works [20][21][22][23][24][25] focus on establishing an authorization framework for IoT, and enable access control in the IoT. However, these piece-wise solutions do not provide a complete framework to address many practical issues facing IoT systems, such as identification, addressing, mobility, interoperability and scalability.…”

A Security Framework for the Internet of Things in the Future Internet Architecture

Abstract:The Internet of Things (IoT) is a recent trend that extends the boundary of the Internet to include a wide variety of computing devices. Connecting many stand-alone IoT systems through the Internet introduces many challenges, with security being front-and-center since much of the collected information will be exposed to a wide and often unknown audience. Unfortunately, due to the intrinsic capability limits of low-end IoT devices, which account for a majority of the IoT end hosts, many traditional security methods cannot be applied to secure IoT systems, which open a door for attacks and exploits directed both against IoT services and the broader Internet. This paper addresses this issue by introducing a unified IoT framework based on the MobilityFirst future Internet architecture that explicitly focuses on supporting security for the IoT. Our design integrates local IoT systems into the global Internet without losing usability, interoperability and security protection. Specifically, we introduced an IoT middleware layer that connects heterogeneous hardware in local IoT systems to the global MobilityFirst network. We propose an IoT name resolution service (IoT-NRS) as a core component of the middleware layer, and develop a lightweight keying protocol that establishes trust between an IoT device and the IoT-NRS.

Abstract-This paper describes EcoBT, one of the first wireless-sensing platforms to support Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) as their primary communication protocol. EcoBT Supernode is a full-sized node with an on-board digital accelerometer with rich expansion ports, while EcoBT Mini is the miniature version merely 8 × 8 mm 2 in area. Included on both nodes are a digital accelerometer with programmable threshold detection for power saving, real-time clock, magnetic switches for contactless operation, and low-load DC-DC converters for low stand-by power when used in conjunction with a rechargeable Lithiumpolymer battery. The use of BLE enables direct communication with a BLE-equipped smartphone, tablet, or laptop without the inconvenience of a dongle or an extra gateway device. These two platforms share the identical microcontroller unit (MCU), enabling code sharing between them with little or no porting effort. The versatility of these platforms is being demonstrated in several real-life applications ranging from temperature tracking in shipping containers and lighting control to and several wearable medical devices.
