IOT DATA SECURITY

ABSTRACT

Sharing data securely and efficiently has been identified as an issue in loT-based smart systems such as smart cities and smart health, etc. A large number of loT devices are used in these smart systems and they produce a large amount of data. loT devices generally have limited storage and processing capabilities, and configuring any security techniques on these devices is a challenge. In this study, we proposed a novel device identity management approach for loT systems that provides data security in two ways. Firstly, a lightweight time based identification protocol that uses hub identification for validating data. Secondly, data storage is augmented with an effective loT application for providing easy access and immutability for data sharing among multiple parties. Our initial prototype implementation shows that: our identity management approach can be implemented in large scale settings, our system can be effectively implemented in IoT platforms, and our performance evaluation result shows that the prototype fulfills system requirements adequately. An Object oriented software development (OOSD) which incorporates object oriented analysis and object oriented design plan was similarly embraced to help indicate the relationship between an object and its class. The development stage was done using some sets of software tools: PH programming language, HTML and JavaScript, MySQL database system. Xampp server which was used to test-run the system during the development process.
