The Internet of Things requires multiple Reference Architectures which can map capabilities to specific technology domains. This is a challenge because there is no single unifying industry definition for the Internet of Things. For the purpose of this presentation it is assumed that: “Things” have semantic representation in the Internet “Things” can be acted upon in a… Continue reading A Reference Architecture for the Internet of Things

M2M Protocols
There are many different usable protocols for communication with M2M devices for the Internet of Things. Specific protocols are more appropriate for different devices (e.g. memory & power profiles) and specific protocols are more appropriate for different communication needs (e.g. State Transfer Model & Event Based Model)
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
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
