SSM: Secure service manager for the internet of things

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) has attracted attention in various fields where small devices such as sensors and actuators are intended to be connected with each other by using TCP/IP protocols. To build value-added services in such fields, security is one of the most important considerations. The IETF standard group has proposed to use the DTLS protocol to provide security services with constrained devices in lossy networks. However, the protocol cannot cover all constrained devices because of heterogeneous properties. Under the respect, we propose a secure IoT architecture and design a secure service manager (SSM) that is motivated by traditional web service architecture. © 2014 SERSC.
