Fog Gateways:The Cornerstone of Iot Security WHITE PAPER Fog Gateways: The Cornerstone of IoT Security Fog Gateways: The Cornerstone of IoT Security By Nicholas Cravotta The IoT offers tremendous value, safety. Utilities can dynamically change rates and shift loads—thus preventing overinvestment in power but also introduces major security generation. IoT-based medical devices can monitor challenges. Connecting previously offline patients continuously to identify trends and alert systems increases the attack surface for hackers— caregivers before an emergency arises. and the diversity of these systems makes it difficult to But all these benefits depend on secure data flow. deploy and manage consistent security.

Manageability and consistent application of security The Basics of IoT Security can be difficult to achieve. IoT ecosystems may comprise a wide range of different hardware, OS, networking, To achieve end-to-end security, secure capabilities need and other technologies. The rapid pace of innovation to be implemented at many levels in an IoT ecosystem. means IoT ecosystems also need to support multiple At the lowest level, individual devices must be secure. generations of technology. This includes protecting hardware from physical attacks and safeguarding software and data from unauthorized Furthermore, security is not a deploy-and-ignore modification (Figure 1). technology. Security must be kept up to date to address new standards and vulnerabilities. Figure 1: Device-level security encompasses a range of hardware and software features. Fog Gateways: The Cornerstone of IoT Security 3 Fog Computing and IoT Gateways enforcement and smooths integration across disparate IT systems. This also makes it easier to keep security up Fog computing is an approach to IoT design that adds to date and to scale as the ecosystem grows. a hierarchy of intelligence between the cloud and endpoints. Rather than directly pipe endpoint data Because security is implemented in gateways, legacy IoT to the cloud, fog computing places compute resources devices behind the gateway are inherently secure. Thus, near endpoints at the edge of the cloud or directly fog computing makes it considerably easier to secure on premises. legacy equipment. In many systems, these fog computing capabilities Fog computing can also eliminate expensive endpoints are provided by IoT gateways. A gateway aggregates refresh cycles, since a well-chosen gateway can endpoint traffic and maps diverse local protocols to a accommodate generations of security updates. common IP backend. On top of this, fog technology provides compute-intensive cloud services like data Pushing compute resources closer to the edge also analytics locally (Figure 2). enables gateways to handle real-time/time-critical applications. This is an important benefit because many To accelerate development and adoption of fog tech- applications cannot tolerate the latency of pushing data nologies, Intel created the Fog Reference Design (Intel to the cloud and waiting for a response.

This can substantially Intel FPGA solutions for specialized functionality—Intel reduce the cost and complexity of endpoints.

This all-in-one test bed enables developers to optimize bandwidth requirements between endpoints experiment and demonstrate fog use cases across the and the cloud. spectrum of vertical segments. From there, developers can quickly move on to commercially available hardware to implement their designs. Boundary Security One of the ways fog computing can secure IoT ecosystems Security Through the Gateway is through boundary security. To illustrate the advan- tages of boundary security, consider the alternative of One of the primary benefits of fog computing is how it separately securing each subsystem. In this context, a simplifies security. Rather than address security across subsystem can take many forms. For example, it could be a large number of endpoints, fog computing aggregates a network of devices on a LAN or a suite of applications in and maps connections across a relatively small number the cloud. of gateways. Consolidation ensures consistent policy Figure 2: Gateways are intermediaries between endpoints and the cloud.

Vortex requirements of each subsystem. But this individualized Cloud secures communications at the boundary between approach has a major flaw. When a subsystem connects subsystems and can be used with private, public, and to an external resource, this creates a weakest point of hybrid clouds (Figure 3). vulnerability. Specifically, the security deployed by the subsystem may be insufficient to protect data across Vortex achieves this through a boundary security approach that uses certificate-based authentication, the external connection. secures encrypted communications, and enforces Boundary security is a method for protecting data by access control rules between subsystems and individual securing the boundary between different subsystems. devices.

  • Lightweight Smart Glass System with Audio Aid for Visually Impaired People
    Lightweight Smart Glass System with Audio Aid for Visually Impaired People Feng Lan, Guangtao Zhai and Wei Lin Institute of Image Communication and Information Processing, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China Email: fdeanlan, zhaiguangtao,linwei181491g @sjtu.edu.cn Abstract—In this paper, we present a new smart glass system for people who are blind or have low vision. Individuals with visual disability are difficult to communicate effectively with their environment. The blind or visually impaired rely largely on their other senses such as hearing, touch, and smell in order to understand their surroundings. It is pretty hard for them to go out alone, not to mention finding toilets, subway stations, restaurants and so on. Giving blind people the great accessibility to their environment is the objective of the smart glass system. This smart glass system can see the world for them and give voice instructions and hints through wireless bone conduction headphones. This smart glass system will help visually impaired people gain increased independence and freedom in city life. And Fig. 1: Snapshot of the prototype smart glass. we have implemented an application of public signs recognition on the smart glass system. This application can detect and recognize the public signs in cities, and give corresponding voice hints to the blindness. The proposed prototype system is based on Intel by Intel as a development system for wearable devices. Its Edison, and the application in the system is written in C++ with dimensions are 35:5 × 25 × 3:9mm, with components on both libraries of OpenCV. Extended demonstration of the system will sides.

However, this data is split across many isolated sources and is stored in a form that is not conducive to analysis. A centralized repository of said data would arm stakeholders across industry and academia with a tool to more quantitatively understand the history of computing. We propose iLORE, a data model designed to represent intricate relationships between computer system benchmarks and computer components. We detail the methods we used to implement and populate the iLORE data model using data harvested from publicly available sources. Finally, we demonstrate the validity and utility of our iLORE implementation through an analysis of the characteristics and lineage of commercial microprocessors.
