Framework de comunicação seguro e confiável para Internet das Coisas usando o protocolo XMPP

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a paradigm in which smart objects collaborate actively with other physical and virtual objects available in the Internet. IoT environments are characterized by a high degree of heterogeneity of devices and network protocols. However, many challenging social and technological issues still need to be addressed, including the interoperability of devices, autonomous systems, privacy and security issues, which could have a significant impact on many aspects of everyday life of potential end user. To deal with these issues some type of middleware layer or frameworks to show fundamental enforce the seamless integration of devices and functionality within the same network information, providing security and reliability. Therefore, the objective of this work is to design and implement a secure and reliable framework in this scenario using the XMPP protocol (eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol). Based on the model publish / subscribe, the proposed framework has reliability mechanism for real-time communication, security features provided by the XMPP based on TLS and SASL authentication. Based on case studies demonstrate the framework’s ability reliability and the results demonstrate the feasibility of the model.
