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)

5 Key Architectural Considerations on Implementing Identity and Access Management for M2M

Identity and access management have traditionally been used to manage the identity and credentials assigned to human users.  Machine to machine devices such as Smart Metering GPRS enabled electricity meters or SIM cards in cars require their own identity and access management capabilities. These include new M2M authentication schemes because traditional authentication schemes always assume the presence of a person.… Continue reading 5 Key Architectural Considerations on Implementing Identity and Access Management for M2M
