ARMY: architecture for a secure and privacy-aware lifecycle of smart objects in the internet of my things
José L. Hernández-Ramos, Jorge Bernal Bernabé, Antonio Skármeta · IEEE Communications Magazine · 2016
The emergence of the Internet of Things paradigm promises a multi-disciplinary revolution covering different spheres of our daily lives. However, the ubiquitous nature of IoT requires inclusive approaches in order to agree on a common understanding about its implications. Particularly, in order to unlock its huge potential and maximize its benefits, it is necessary to minimize the risks that are associated with security and privacy concerns. In this work, we propose a comprehensive architectural design to capture the main security and privacy requirements during the lifecycle of a smart object. The resulting architecture has been designed, instantiated, and implemented within the scope of different European IoT initiatives, in order to promote the design and development of secure and privacy-aware IoT-enabled services.
