Overview of this book

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the fastest growing technology market. Industries are embracing IoT technologies to improve operational expenses, product life, and people's well-being. An architectural guide is necessary if you want to traverse the spectrum of technologies needed to build a successful IoT system, whether that's a single device or millions of devices. This book encompasses the entire spectrum of IoT solutions, from sensors to the cloud. We start by examining modern sensor systems and focus on their power and functionality. After that, we dive deep into communication theory, paying close attention to near-range PAN, including the new Bluetooth® 5.0 specification and mesh networks. Then, we explore IP-based communication in LAN and WAN, including 802.11ah, 5G LTE cellular, Sigfox, and LoRaWAN. Next, we cover edge routing and gateways and their role in fog computing, as well as the messaging protocols of MQTT and CoAP. With the data now in internet form, you'll get an understanding of cloud and fog architectures, including the OpenFog standards. We wrap up the analytics portion of the book with the application of statistical analysis, complex event processing, and deep learning models. Finally, we conclude by providing a holistic view of the IoT security stack and the anatomical details of IoT exploits while countering them with software defined perimeters and blockchains.

The IoT Story

Software defined perimeter


Earlier in the book, in Chapter 8Router and Gateways, the concept of software-defined networks and overlay networks was discussed. Overlay networks and their ability to create microsegments is extremely powerful especially in mass IoT scaling and situations where a DDOS attack can be mitigated. An additional component of software-defined networking is called Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP) and is worth a discussion in terms of the overall security picture.

Software-Defined Perimeter architecture

A Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP) is an approach to network and communication security where no trust model exists. It is based on the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA)'s black cloud. Black cloud means information is shared on a need-to-know basis. An SDP can mitigate attacks such as DDOS, MITM, zero-day exploits, and server scanning among others. Along with providing an overlay and micro-segmentation for each attached device, the perimeter creates an invitation...
