A “Disruptive” Technology
US National Intelligence Council (NIC) consider Internet of Things as one of the 6 ‘‘Disruptive Civil Technologies”
(April 2008
IEEE ranks IoT #1 in the list of “Top Trends for 2013” (Winter 2012):
“The Internet of Things is more than just the newest buzzword. The IoT promises to be the most disruptive technological revolution since the advent of the World Wide Web. Projections indicate that up to 100 billion uniquely identifiable objects will be connected to the Internet by 2020, but human understanding of the underlying technologies has not kept pace. This creates a fundamental challenge to researchers, with enormous technical, socioeconomic, political, and even spiritual consequences”

Internet of Things: Visions
Term introduced by the Auto-ID Labs (K. Ashton, 1999): linking RFID-based supply chain and Internet
UN (2005): “A new era of ubiquity is coming where humans may become the minority as generators and receivers of traffic and changes brought about by the Internet will be dwarfed by those prompted by the networking of everyday objects”
ITU: ‘‘From anytime, anyplace connectivity for anyone, we will now have connectivity for anything”
EU: ‘‘Things having identities and virtual personalities operating in smart spaces using intelligent interfaces to connect and communicate within social, environmental, and user contexts”

Internet of Things: Visions
EU: ‘‘Things having identities and virtual personalities operating in smart spaces using intelligent interfaces to connect and communicate within social, environmental, and user contexts”
US National Intelligence Council: ‘‘By 2025 Internet nodes may reside in everyday things – food packages, furniture, paper documents, and more”
Target applications: no limit: logistics industry/manufacturing (cf. German Industry 4.0 initiative) health domotics ITS social networking…
Intensive standardization and R&D activity

Internet of Things: Definition
CERP-IoT: « The Internet of Things (IoT) is […] a dynamic global network infrastructure with self configuring capabilities based on standard and interoperable communication protocols where physical and virtual ‘things’ have identities, physical attributes, and virtual personalities and use intelligent interfaces, and are seamlessly integrated into the information network.
In the IoT, ‘things’ are expected to become active participants in business, information and social processes where they are enabled to interact and communicate among themselves and with the environment by exchanging data and information ‘sensed’ about the environment, while reacting autonomously to the ‘real/physical world’s events »

Internet of Things: Technologies and Issues
Integration of multiple ICT technologies identification and tracking technologies sensor networks network protocols (cf. Future Internet autonomic, pervasive and ubiquitous computing AI, knowledge management, semantics
Key issues: interoperability security/trust and privacy low resources (=> revisit protocols and algorithms
implemented in Internet and Web) scalability

Internet of Things: 2 Points of View
Network/Internet Point of View
Things point of View

Internet of Things: 3 Points of View?

Internet of Things: a 4th Point of View
A Digital Ecosystem Point of View?
19/04/23
The Things Point of View (1/2)
Key issue: object identification and tracing
A prominent killer app: Electronic Product Code basic goal: product/object traceability RFID tags attached to products
RFID advantageslow costmaturityno need of power (passive tags)lifetimestrong support from supply chain and consumer goods
industries
Other basic thingsMobile equipments (Near Field Communications (NFC), GSM…)Sensors and (Wireless) Sensor Networks ((W)SN)
19/04/23
The Things Point of View (2/2)
Development of supply chain platforms Ex: WISP (Wireless Identification and Sensing Platforms)
project
“Philosophical” vision: spime (B. Sterling) object tracking through space and time autonomy and collaboration
(Web) Semantic vision: The Web of Things
19/04/23
The Network Point of View
Key issue: object2object communication
First approach: develop specific communication protocols adapted to each type of things and type of applications need for standardization which compatibility with Internet?
Second approach: (re-)use IP integrate IP and IEEE 802.15.4 (6LoWPAN) (IP for Smart Objects
(IPSO) Alliance) make IP lighter (Internet Ø)
Third approach: (re-use) 802.15.4 enrich 802.15.4 (Zigbee)

Technologies and Issues
Components and Architecture
19/04/23
Technological Components (some kind of layered architecture)
Identification (“sensing”) (passive, active) RFID tags sensor networks
Communication see discussion above interface object/network embed the TCP/IP stack into the devices (TinyTCP, mIP, IwIP…)?
Integration object and service discovery object and service cataloging service composition/orchestration
Intelligence and Collaboration
Security and Privacy
19/04/23
Identification (“sensing”)
Ultimate goal: unique/universal Id for naming and addressing individual objects i.e., to attach an ego to each object, condition to develop ego-centric applications (cf. Jacob and the Angel (Genesis))
Naming is difficult! ONS: Object Name Service
basically, RFID tag/EPC code → URI of a description file (Object Code Mapping Service-Direct Search (OCMS-DS)
more complex Object Code Mapping Service-Reverse Search (OCMS-DS): description → EPC code(s)
Addressing is difficult! stupid but tricky issue: RFID addresses are different from IPv6
addresses (64-96 bits vs 128 bits) addressing moving objects is even more difficult
19/04/23
Communication
From host2host to object2object
TCP is not adapted designed for long-lasting connections while objects (like tags
or sensors) exchange small pieces of data => handshake + congestion control/retransmit/recovery + flow control + buffering procedures too complex
Very heterogeneous networks and traffic
Scalability?
Quality of service?
19/04/23
Security and Privacy (1/3)
A definitive threat for privacy!
A security nightmare!
Security IoT = a kind of unsupervised mobile/pervasive grids whose
end-components are resource limited tiny objects = a security nightmare
memory segments of tags are protected by (short) password physical attacks Man in the Middle attacks cryptographic techniques too CPU-intensive for low energy
objects multiple administrative domains (cf. grids)
19/04/23
Security and Privacy (2/3)
Privacy all your life can will be traced => possible monitoring,
mining, analysis connection possible with Linked Open Data => worsen
the threats open air connections => possibility of eavesdropping not only your digital life but also your “analogical” life you cannot even know what is sensed about you, when it
is sensed, etc. Sensors do not ask for permission (cf. video surveillance)
no “forget option”
19/04/23
Security and Privacy (3/3)
Privacy (cont’d) Basic approach (e.g. EEXCESS EU project, W3C P3P
(Platform for Privacy Preference) user defined policy privacy proxy negotiation protocol anonymization/pseudomization integration of reputation and trust mechanisms (cf. course
on security and privacy)
Issues cryptographic techniques are too complex scalability
19/04/23
An Intensive Activity of Standardization
RFID EPCGlobal ISO, IEC (Int. Electrotechnical Commission), CEN, NAFTA… industrial consortia
M2M ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute ) 7 standard bodies joined in 2012
Communication 6LoWPAN ZigBee NFC … all communications standard bodies (ISO, IEEE…)
19/04/23
Conclusion
Yet another buzzword or a revolution?
Strong support from the industry
IoT platforms yet exist: xively (ex cosm, ex pachube), sen.se, etc.
Close to reality in “closed” ecosystems
Far from reality in “open” ecosystem”
Need for an holistic vision → multi-scale digital ecosystem?
