Description du projet
Reconstituer le puzzle de l’IdO
Il existe un besoin croissant de normalisation et d’interopérabilité entre les plateformes, les appareils et les systèmes de l’Internet des objets (IdO). La fragmentation actuelle se traduit par de nombreuses technologies, protocoles et normes de communication propriétaires. Cette situation entrave le potentiel de l’IdO, en limitant son évolutivité, son efficacité et l’innovation. Dans ce contexte, le projet SOFIE, financé par l’UE, proposera une solution qui changera la donne. En créant une architecture de fédération IdO sécurisée et ouverte, l’équipe s’appuie sur la technologie du registre distribué pour permettre une évolutivité illimitée et mettre en place des contrats intelligents et des solutions décentralisées. N’importe quelle plateforme IdO pourra rejoindre la fédération sans effort, en conservant les données au sein de leurs plateformes respectives. SOFIE s’appuiera sur les normes ouvertes existantes et élaborera un cadre de fédération de l’IdO qui promouvra des plateformes commerciales sécurisées et décentralisées.
Objectif
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.
