The Internet of Things (IoT) Jim Shepard, ENP Marc Berryman, ENP Nate Wilcox

What is the Internet of Things?

• Internet of Things (IoT): A network of physical objects or “things” internet-connected devices embedded with electronics, sensors and software, able to collect and exchange data with other linked devices.

IoT Real World Applications

IoT Expected Growth

Pros • Devices able to collect and exchange data using

embedded sensors

• Allows constant communication and consistent quality control

• More information to assist decision making process

• Improved utilization of existing resources

• Information continually available to “spot” potential issues (analytics)

• Potential for privacy issues

• Others?

Cons • Harder to maintain confidentiality and

authentication of sensitive information

• Many competing protocols and standards

• Easily penetrated security gaps, lax authentication

• Bad actors could exploit networks by the number devices attacking plus the vast amount of data they each can generate

• Dependency on technology to make it work

• Cost of deployment infrastructure

• Immense amounts of data generated and bandwidth used

• Must utilize IPv6

IoT Pros and Cons

Major Competing IoT Technologies & Protocols

Infrastructure 6LowPAN, IPv4/IPv6, RPL

Identification EPC, uCode, IPv6, URIs

Discovery Physical Web, mDNS, DNS-SD

Data Protocols MQTT, CoAP, AMQP, SOAP, Node, XMPP, SMCP, STOMP, SSI, REST, HTTP/2

Device Management TR-069, OMA-DM

Semantic JSON-LD, Web Thing Model

Comms / Transport Wifi, Bluetooth, LPWAN, TSMP, NanoIP,

Multi-layer Frameworks Alljoyn, IoTivity, Weave, Homekit

IoT Pros and Cons

Hopeful Future • IoT will likely widely adopt Bluetooth Smart or IEEE 602.11ah (both power conservative) • IoTA – An emerging common language toolbox for IoT devices - Allows IoT devices to securely

store, sell and access data streams. • Tangle – a revolutionary new blockless de-coupled, distributed blockchain for IoTA

• MaM – Masked Authenticated Messaging

• Others?
