Internet of Thing (IoT) computing is an environment where various devices with sensors and actuators are connect, and interact together to acquire contexts and provide useful services. With the advances of IoT technologies, its usability becomes an in important issue. However, there exist various types of faults in IoT computing which are not conventionally addressed in software research community. Providing reliable IoT services is challenging. In this paper, we present a hierarchy of IoT faults and analyze causes and symptoms of the faults. Based on the analysis, we define effective methods for managing IoT faults. We believe that our proposed framework for managing IoT faults can be utilized in reducing the development cost of IoT applications and enhancing the quality of the applications.

Recently, many laundry home appliances have been released with Internet of Things (IoT) functions, but there are few quality evaluation tests for IoT functions. In particular, since IoT test items are not prepared for laundry home appliances applied with IoT functions, it is difficult to find the cause even if defects occur, and test institutions are limited in selecting test items related to IoT and conducting proper performance tests. In this paper, we design a test item framework that separates IoT test items into commonality and variability to identify product defects and causes for laundry home appliances with IoT features among products in the field of home appliances. Through the proposed research, manufacturers and test institutions can test the proper performance of laundry products with IoT functions, which can improve the completeness of the products and ensure reliability.

IoT devices are used in many areas to perform various roles and functions in a cloud environment. However, a method of access control that can stably control the IoT device has not been proposed yet. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical multi-level property access control scheme that can perform stable access of IoT devices used in a cluster environment. In order to facilitate the access of the IoT device, the proposed method not only provides the ID key (security token) unique to the IoT device by providing the IoT Hub, but also allows the IoT Hub to authenticate the X.509 certificate and the private key, So that the private key of the IoT device can not be seen outside the IoT device. As a result of the performance evaluation, the proposed method improved the authentication accuracy by 10.5% on average and the processing time by 14.3%. The overhead of IoT Hub according to the number of IoT attributes was 9.1% lower than the conventional method.

The concept of Internet of Things (IoT) has been increasingly popular these days, and its areas of application have been broadened. However, if the data stored in an IoT system is damaged and cannot be recovered, our society would suffer considerable damages and chaos. Thus far, most of the studies on fault-tolerance have been focused on computer systems, and there has not been much research on fault-tolerance for IoT systems. In this study, therefore, a fault-tolerance method in IoT environments is proposed. In other words, based on the EVENODD method, one of the traditional fault-tolerance methods, a fault-tolerance storage and recovery method for the data stored in the IoT server is proposed, and the method is implemented on an oneM2M IoT system. The fault-tolerance method proposed in this paper consists of two phases - fault-tolerant data storage and recovery. In the fault-tolerant data storage phase, some F-T gateways are designated and fault-tolerant data are distributed in the F-T gateways' storage using the EVENODD method. In the fault-tolerant recovery phase, the IoT server initiates the recovery procedure after it receives fault-tolerant data from non-faulty F-T gateways. In other words, an EVENODD array is reconstructed and received data are merged to obtain the original data.

Recently, frozen and refrigerated appliances on the market are being released with additional IoT functions, but there are few tests on IoT functions. In particular, the existing test system does not have IoT test items for IoT-based frozen and refrigerated appliances, making it difficult for companies to find the cause even if defects occur, and test institutions are also restricted from selecting IoT-related test items and conducting correct performance tests. In this paper, we design a test item framework that can identify product defects and identify causes in the performance test process of frozen and refrigerated products with IoT functions among products in the home appliance field, and propose test methods and management measures using them. Through the proposed research, manufacturers and testing institutions can test the correct performance of IoT-based frozen and refrigerated products, thereby enhancing the completeness and securing reliability of the products.

Recently, users' interest in IoT related products is increasing as the 4th industrial revolution has become social. The types and functions of sensors used in IoT devices are becoming increasingly diverse, and mutual authentication technology of IoT devices is required. In this paper, we propose an efficient double signature authentication scheme using Pascal's triangle theory so that different types of IoT devices can operate smoothly with each other. The proposed scheme divides the authentication path between IoT devices into two (main path and auxiliary path) to guarantee authentication and integrity of the IoT device. In addition, the proposed scheme is suitable for IoT devices that require a small capacity because they generate keys so that additional encryption algorithms are unnecessary when authenticating IoT devices. As a result of the performance evaluation, the delay time of the IoT device is improved by 6.9% and the overhead is 11.1% lower than that of the existing technique. The throughput of IoT devices was improved by an average of 12.5% over the existing techniques.

IoT technology is currently being applied at various industrial sites and is developing as a core technology in the fourth industrial revolution. Along with IoT developments, awareness and importance of IoT security is increasing, and research on IoT security is underway to counter these threats. However, research trends in the context of IoT security awareness are insufficient. This paper is a research that analyzes the progress of R&D and IoT security in both domestic and international IoT and thus leads to improvements. The research covered the 229 papers and articles of domestic and foreign journals covering security fields as a main theme. Among them, detailed analyses of 96 papers related to IoT security were performed. Research has shown that many studies are being conducted on trends in IoT security, key management and privacy. A detailed study on the characteristics of services to apply IoT technologies and access control and authentication between IoT devices is needed, and a study that addressed the issues of privacy in IoT environments in Korea.

As the use of various IoT devices increases, the importance of IoT platforms is also rising. Recently, artificial intelligence technology is being combined with IoT devices, and research applying a neuromorphic architecture to IoT devices with low power is also increasing. In this paper, an application scenario is proposed based on NA-IDE (Neuromorphic Architecture-based autonomous IoT application integrated development environment) with IoT devices and FPGA devices in a GUI format. The proposed scenario connects a camera module to an IoT device, collects MNIST dataset images online, recognizes the collected images through a neuromorphic board, and displays the recognition results through a device module connected to other IoT devices. If the neuromorphic architecture is applied to many IoT devices and used for various application services, the autonomous IoT application integrated development environment based on the neuromorphic architecture is expected to emerge as a core technology leading the 4th industrial revolution.

Based on the Internet of Things, a web system that can check the condition around the fire extinguisher, whether a fire has occurred, and an application that can receive fire notifications in real time is implemented. Minimize errors that occur during development by using software engineering to clarify the goals of the system and define the structure in detail. In addition, for IoT-based fire extinguishers, a method of reducing defects by finding product defects in the demand analysis, design, and implementation stages and analyzing the cause thereof is proposed. Through the proposed research, it is possible to secure the reliability of defect management for IoT-based smart fire extinguisher.
