The rapid growth of small Internet connected devices, known as the Internet of Things (IoT), is creating a new set of challenges to create secure, private infrastructures. This paper reviews the current literature on the challenges and approaches to security and privacy in the Internet of Things, with a strong focus on how these aspects are handled in IoT middleware. We focus on IoT middleware because many systems are built from existing middleware and these inherit the underlying security properties of the middleware framework. The paper is composed of three main sections. Firstly, we propose a matrix of security and privacy threats for IoT. This matrix is used as the basis of a widespread literature review aimed at identifying requirements on IoT platforms and middleware. Secondly, we present a structured literature review of the available middleware and how security is handled in these middleware approaches. We utilise the requirements from the first phase to evaluate. Finally, we draw a set of conclusions and identify further work in this area.

“…Interest in the design of these interfaces focuses on the ability to access the processed data anywhere and anytime through the Internet. As a matter of fact, augmented reality, a direct/indirect live view of a real-world environment, has also been implemented in recent works [13][14][15]. Besides the features presented in Table 1, the controlling type is another property of the HEMS, which refers to the control method of the sensor devices that allows a consumer to activate, configure and control the settings on the sensor nodes.…”

“…In this work, we investigated heterogeneity and interoperability issues specifically for IEEE 802.15.4, ZigBee, UWB and EnOcean wireless sensor nodes for centralization in the same system [15,27]. In addition, we developed a specific component that gives additional information about the building and its occupancy, which is very useful for devising rules and control strategies for energy waste minimization [15].…”

Abstract:This work presents an Internet of Things (IoT) system for home energy management based on a custom-designed Impulse Radio Ultra-Wideband (IR-UWB) transceiver that targets a generic and multi-standard control system. This control system enables the interoperability of heterogeneous devices: it integrates various sensor nodes based on ZigBee, EnOcean and UWB in the same middleware by utilizing an ad-hoc layer as an interface between the hardware and software. The paper presents as a first the design of the IR-UWB transceiver for a portable sensor node integrated with the middleware layer, and also describes the receiver connected to the control system. The custom-designed low-power transmitter on the sensor node is fabricated with 130 nm CMOS technology. It generates a signal with a 1.1 ns pulse width while consuming 39 μW at 1 Mbps. The UWB sensor node with a temperature measurement capability consumes 5.31 mW, which is lower than the power level of state-of-the-art solutions for smart-home applications. The UWB hardware and software layers necessary to interface with the control system are verified in over-the-air measurements in an actual office environment. With the implementation of the presented sensor node and its integration in the energy management system, we demonstrate achievement of the broad flexibility demanded for IoT.

Abstract. This paper presents an approach, called IECA, for modeling and implementing the architecture of Internet of Things(IoT) applications using an active rule-based model. Considering the effective collaboration and the quick response which are necessary for IoT information sharing and service provisioning, a common and extensible IECA execution environment is constructed to integrate the advantages of publish/subscribe paradigm and event-driven architecture. A formal definition is proposed for the IECA. The results show that the IECA-based IoT applications can easily be designed and developed, while enabling an efficient management by the IECA execution engine.
