  • A variety of communications are developed and advanced by integration of wireless and wire connections with heterogeneous system. Traditional technologies are mainly focus on information technology based on computer techniques in the field of industry, manufacture and automation fields. As new technologies are developed and enhanced with traditional techniques, a lot of new applications are emerged and merged with existing mechanism and skills. The representative applications are IoT(Internet of Things) services and applications. IoT is breakthrough technologies and one of the innovation industries which are called 4 generation industry revolution. Due to limited resources in IoT such as small memory, low power and computing power, IoT devices are vulnerable and disclosed with security problems. In this paper, we reviewed and analyzed security challenges, threats and requirements under IoT service.

  • With the enhancement of built-in communication capabilities in various meters and wearable devices, which implies Internet of things (IoT), the demand of small-area embedded processors has increased. In this paper, we introduce a small-area 32-bit pipelined processor, Juno, which is available in the field of IoT. Juno is an EISC (Extendable Instruction Set Computer) machine and has a 2/3-stage pipeline structure to reduce the data dependency of the pipeline. It has a simple pipeline controller which only controls the program counter (PC) and two pipeline registers. It offers $32{\times}32=64$ multiplication, 64/32=32 division, $32{\times}32+64=64$ MAC (multiply and accumulate) operations together with 32*32=64 Galois field multiplication operation for encryption processing in wireless communications. It provides selective inclusion of these algebraic logic blocks if necessary in order to reduce the area of the overall processor. In this case, the gate count of our integer core amounts to 12k~22k and has a performance of 0.57 DMIPS/MHz and 1.024 Coremark/MHz.

  • The PSK (Pre-shared Secret Key) based method is appropriate for the IoT environment consisting of lightweight devices since this method requires less computing time and energy than the method to configure the session key based on the public key algorithm. A fundamental prerequisite for the PSK based method is that PSK should have been configured between the communication entities safely in advance. However, in case of a small sensor or actuator, no input and output interface such as keyboard and monitor required for configuration exists, so it is more difficult to configure PSK for such lightweight devices safely in the IoT environment than the previous Internet devices. Especially, normal users lack expertise in security so they face difficulty in configuration. Therefore, the default value configured at the time of manufacturing at factories is used or the device installer configures PSK in most cases. In such case, it is a matter for consideration whether all installers and manufacturers can be trusted or not. In order to solve such problem, this paper proposes a secure bootstrapping scheme, which utilizes the NFC (Near Field Communication) as an OOB (Out-Of-Band) channel, for lightweight devices with limited resources.

  • In recent years, with the blooming of Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud Computing (CC), researchers have begun to discover new methods of technological support in all areas (e.g. health, transport, education, etc.). In this paper, in order to achieve a type of network that will provide more intelligent media-data transfer new technologies were studied. Additionally, we have been studied the use of various open source tools, such as CC analyzers and simulators. These tools are useful for studying the collection, the storage, the management, the processing, and the analysis of large volumes of data. The simulation platform which have been used for our research is CloudSim, which runs on Eclipse software. Thus, after measuring the network performance with CloudSim, we also use the Cooja emulator of the Contiki OS, with the aim to confirm and access more metrics and options. More specifically, we have implemented a network topology from a small section of the script of CloudSim with Cooja, so that we can test a single network segment. The results of our experimental procedure show that there are not duplicated packets received during the procedure. This research could be a start point for better and more efficient media data transmission.

  • The advent of Internet of Things (IoT) makes common nowadays computing environments involving programming not a single computer but several heterogeneous distributed computers together. Developing programs separately, one for each computer, increases programmer burden and testing all the programs become more complex. To address the challenge, this paper proposes an RPC-based unified programming language, UniPy, for development of MGC (eMbedded, Gateway, and Cloud) applications in IoT systems configured with popular computers such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and Web-based DB server. UniPy offers programmers a view of classes as locations and a very simple form of remote procedure call mechanism. Our UniPy compiler automatically splits a UniPy program into small pieces of the program at different locations supporting the necessary RPC mechanism. An advantage of UniPy programs is to permit programmers to write local codes the same as for a single computer requiring no extra knowledge due to having unified programming models, which is very different from the existing research works such as Fabryq and Ravel. Also, the structure of UniPy programs allows programmers to test them by directly executing them before splitting, which is a feature that has never been emphasized yet.

  • Modern computers have to deal with multiple processes. The operating system uses scheduling to handle many processes with a small number of CPUs. Types of scheduling include FCFS, SJF, and RR. Of these, RR shall determine the maximum allocation time. In this paper, we analyzed the GLM algorithm for specific samples to find the optimal maximum allocation time. This analysis method allows us to specify the maximum allocation time according to the desired conditions.

  • The spread of IoT (Internet of Things) technology that connects objects based on wired / wireless networks is accelerating, and IoT-based smart home technology that constitutes a super connected network connecting sensors and home appliances existing inside and outside the home is getting popular. In addition, demand for alternative energy technologies such as photovoltaic power generation is rapidly increasing due to rapid increase of consumption of energy resources. Recently, small solar power systems for general households as well as large solar power systems for installation in large buildings are being introduced, but they are effectively implemented due to limitations of small solar panels and lack of power management technology. In this paper, we have studied smart home structure and IoT / IoL device discovery algorithm for energy harvesting system based on photovoltaic power generation, It is possible to construct an efficient smart home system for device control.

  • With the rapid growth of semiconductor technologies, small-sized devices with powerful computing abilities are becoming a reality. As this environment has a limit on power supply, NVM storage that has a high density and low power consumption is preferred to HDD or SSD. However, legacy software layers optimized for HDDs should be revisited. Specifically, as storage performance approaches DRAM performance, existing I/O mechanisms and software configurations should be reassessed. This paper explores the challenges and implications of using NVM storage with a broad range of experiments. We measure the performance of a system with NVM storage emulated by DRAM with proper timing parameters and compare it with that of HDD storage environments under various configurations. Our experimental results show that even with storage as fast as DRAM, the performance gain is not large for read operations as current I/O mechanisms do a good job hiding the slow performance of HDD. To assess the potential benefit of fast storage media, we change various I/O configurations and perform experiments to quantify the effects of existing I/O mechanisms such as buffer caching, read-ahead, synchronous I/O, direct I/O, block I/O, and byte-addressable I/O on systems with NVM storage.
