Integrated Device Cloud Architecture for a Secure Cloud of Things Environment

Abstract

Though IoT could impart intelligence to the environment, without cloud it could not do wonders in real world in the present cloud of things era. Numerous applications including scientific, engineering and financial applications, were developed and architectures framed, where most of which always depend on cloud and internet of things for better effectiveness. Therefore blending IoT with Cloud is essential and would change the way internet is used presently. Deployment of smart devices on smart environment in colossal scale will be future more challenging. Lacking of scalable architecture will tremendously affect the management of sensors/devices, leading to inefficiency in applications. Realising this a secure device cloud architecture is proposed as cloud provides anything as a service, which is also depicted as cross cloud federation management. As devices are equipped with intelligence that is IoT enabled, and are hosted as clouds. Focus is on providing end-to-end security while delivering more reliable services in CoT environment.
