Study Notes

ROSH

Our cities are polluted, and the future needs clean air.
Advocate for sustainable living and prioritize clean air.

Internet of Things (IoT)

IoT connects everyday physical objects to the internet.
Enables objects to collect and exchange data, making them "smart."
Four key evolutionary phases of the internet are: Connectivity, Network Economy, Immersive Experiences, and IoT.

How IoT Works

IoT systems collect data from the environment through devices, sensors and actuators.
Network technologies like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee communicate data to a cloud.
Data processing and insights extraction often utilizes AI/machine learning.
IoT devices can control/interact with the physical world.
IoT relies on unique identifiers, embedded systems ,and network connectivity for physical objects.

Characteristics of IoT

System Characteristics:
- Auto-configuration as new devices are added.
- Distributed architecture not centralized.
- Network communication where devices manage and cooperate.
- Real-time data processing where sensors can capture and process data in real-time.
Service Characteristics:
- Content awareness that extracts contextual data.
- Location awareness is spatially aware
- Time awareness that captures temporal data.

IoT Security and Privacy

As IoT device numbers increase, potential risks and privacy issues also grow.
Concerns include Insufficient testing and updating, authentication issues, malware, botnets, and data privacy issues.
Main challenges consist of Insufficient testing, authentication issues, malware and ransomware, botnets, and data privacy.

IoT Communication Protocols

Key protocols used in IoT include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, MQTT, CoAP, and LoRaWAN.

Key Organizations and Resources

Several industry groups work on advancing IoT development.
Organizations like IEEE IoT Initiative, IETF, IoT Security Foundation, Industrial Internet Consortium, and Open Connectivity Foundation provide resources for secure and interoperable solutions.
