Internet of Things today is a modern term used in marketing campaigns of the largest manufacturersof network equipment, leading to building their successful business models. In essence, Internet of Things is anetwork of physical devices, vehicles, buildings and other elements, which are, embedded electronic chips,software, sensors, actuators, and are connect to the Internet network, and all this allows these objects to collectand share data with each other. Using your computer or smartphone, every user can control devices in theirhome via an online service. Currently, many of IoT devices available on the market are not adapted to connectwith devices produced by other competing brands, and when that happens, their interaction is limited. Itnecessary to seek a solution and common standards for interoperability of devices operating in a heterogeneousnetwork technologies, as well as managing the large number of devices in networks. Another importantchallenge is the privacy and security of users. These devices connected to the Internet, are at greater risk offalling into the hands of unscrupulous people and give information about the user and his family. In this aspect,it is necessary to take measures for security of smart digital devices to prevent the transformation of the built-insensors in devices for eavesdropping. Solving these problems on the agenda at many institutions. Measures forstandardization of basic elements and protocols for data transmission. When building a network architecture alsofound unexpected unprecedented problems of complexity in the integration of devices. Standardization of thearchitecture of the Internet of Things allows for increasing the competitiveness between companies and deliverbetter services and devices. To solve these tasks important support render the elaborated reference architecturesfor the Internet of Things by the International Union of Electrical, offering standardization of the Internet ofThings IoT-GSI (Global Standards Initiative on Internet of Things) in Recommendation Y.2060. , and thereference architecture model proposed a result of work on the project of the European Union - IoT-a (Internet ofThings - Architecture). A consequence of work on the project of the European Union has proposed Referencearchitectural model called - IoT-A (Internet of Things - Architecture).
