Remote Control Soufflés: Challenge of M2M Authentication & Authorisation and Mobile data offloading

Some M2M devices will always connect to the internet using a fixed network connection / Wifi and others will always connect using a mobile network connection using an eUICC but there will be some that will offer both wifi and mobile network. It is these devices that will need to support wifi offloading where possible. … Continue reading Remote Control Soufflés: Challenge of M2M Authentication & Authorisation and Mobile data offloading

Securing Smart Device Communication using ETSI M2M Service Capability Layer (SCL)

Smart M2M devices require authentication & registration with the mobile network. Standardisation of service is proposed by the ETSI Service Capability Layer deployed to the Mobile Internet Device / Gateway. Security between the network and the mobile internet device requires authentication, key agreement and establishment that enable M2M Service Bootstrap, provisioning and M2M Service Connection procedures… Continue reading Securing Smart Device Communication using ETSI M2M Service Capability Layer (SCL)

A Common Service Layer for M2M & The Challenge of AAA for Smart Devices

The Internet of Things, as distinct from the internet of people, requires communication between devices to enable home automation, telematics and health care monitoring. This intercommunication is dependent upon semantically structured and shared data for enabling functions such as identification, authentication, authorisation, bootstrapping and provisioning. Standardising both the semantically structured data and the enabling functions across M2M applications… Continue reading A Common Service Layer for M2M & The Challenge of AAA for Smart Devices

The Future of Identity Management According to CoTS Vendors Part 1

Most identity management software vendors will rationalise their service enablement capability as so: Identity and access management has traditionally focused on managing user accounts in the form of directory service entries - the traditional IAM/IdM view it has seldom involved managing identities, let alone multiple types. They might digress slightly here on the history of Master Data… Continue reading The Future of Identity Management According to CoTS Vendors Part 1
