Descripción del proyecto
El rompecabezas de la internet de las cosas
Existe una creciente necesidad de normalización e interoperabilidad entre las plataformas, dispositivos y sistemas de la internet de las cosas (IdC). La fragmentación actual es visible en las numerosas tecnologías, protocolos y normas de comunicación patentados. Esta es una situación que obstaculiza el potencial de la IdC, lo que limita su escalabilidad, eficiencia e innovación. En este contexto, el proyecto SOFIE, financiado con fondos europeos, propondrá una solución destinada a cambiar por completo el panorama actual. Al crear una arquitectura federativa de la IdC segura y abierta, aprovecha la tecnología de libro mayor distribuido para permitir una escalabilidad ilimitada, contratos inteligentes y soluciones descentralizadas. Cualquier plataforma de IdC puede unirse sin esfuerzo a la federación, manteniendo los datos dentro de sus respectivas plataformas. La iniciativa SOFIE se basará en las normas abiertas existentes y creará un marco de federación de la IdC que fomente el uso de plataformas empresariales seguras y descentralizadas.
Objetivo
SOFIE addresses the challenges of the call by creating a secure and open IoT federation architecture and framework. We use Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), including blockchains and inter-ledger technologies, to enable actuation, auditability, smart contracts and management of identities and encryption keys, and to enable totally decentralised solutions with virtually unlimited scalability.
We address the fragmentation of IoT through federation rather than integration. Virtually any IoT platform can join the federation by creating, relatively simply, an adapter. Data remains in the respective IoT platforms and is usable by all the applications within the limits set by the applicable security and privacy policies.
We exercise security and privacy by design. We provide end-to-end security, key management, authorisation, accountability, and auditability, utilising DLTs where applicable. The user shall retain control over their data also after the data have been stored in the Cloud or Fog in an EU GDPR (or other regulations) compliant manner.
We base our work on existing open standards, interfaces and components, such as FIWARE, W3C Web of Things (WoT), and oneM2M. We will select existing components, develop new ones, and collect them — together with documentation, instructions and examples — into an IoT federation framework for creating administratively decentralised, open, and secure IoT business platforms from existing IoT platforms.
We will demonstrate the practicality of our approach by using it in three pilots in three different sectors: food chain, gaming, and energy market. Three business platforms will be realised for the pilots. The results of the pilots will be evaluated against the key performance indicators.
We actively participate in standardisation and disseminate our results through scientific journals, conferences, and workshops, but also the Web, social media and developer communities. We also aim to make at least two of the pilots sustainable.
