The structure of the IoT can be divided into devices, gateways, and servers. First, the gateway collects data from the device, and the gateway sends data to the server through HTTP protocol, Websocket protocol, and MQTT protocol. The processing server then processes, analyzes, and transforms the data, and the database makes it easy to store and use this data. These IoT services are basically centralized structures with servers, so attacks on the entire platform are concentrated only on the central server, which makes hacking more successful than distributed structures. One way to solve this problem is to develop IoT that combines blockchain. Therefore, the proposed research suggests that the blockchain is a distributed structure, in which blocks containing small data are connected in a chain form, so that each node agrees and verifies the data with each other, thereby increasing reliability and lowering the probability of data forgery.

IP and SIP public broadcasting systems developed in Korea and abroad are developed in a Windows or Linux server environments and are installed in a server-rack structure, have high power consumption, and are difficult to remotely respond to system failures. In this paper, IoT platform is designed to connect IoT device and gateway to IoT service server by using internet service structure. We also designed a server based on embedded OS that can provide a variety of public safety management services according to the order of the server with built-in call processing and broadcasting function that can handle emergency calls and emergency broadcasts in public places using this structure. This server is interoperable with a variety of SIP-based call and broadcast devices that support the standard SIP and can be integrated with an in-house phone and on-premises system.

As IoT systems such as smart farms and smart cities become popular, a large amount of data collected from many sensor nodes is sent to a server in the Internet, which causes network traffic explosion, delay in delivery, and increase of server's workload. To solve these problems, the concept of fog computing has been proposed to store data between IoT systems and servers. In this study, we implemented a software platform of the fog node and applied it to the prototype smart farm system in order to check whether the problems listed above can be solved when using the fog node. When the fog node is used, the time taken to control an IoT device is lower than the response time of the existing IoT device-server case. We confirmed that it can also solve the problem of the Internet traffic explosion and the workload increase in the server. We also showed that the intelligent control of IoT system is feasible by having the data visualization in the server and real time remote control, emergency notification in the fog node as well as data storage which is the basic capability of the fog node.

The paradigm of Internet-of-things(IoT) systems is changing from a cloud-based system to an edge-based system to solve delays caused by network congestion, server overload and security issues due to data transmission. However, edge-based IoT systems have fatal weaknesses such as lack of performance and flexibility due to various limitations. To improve performance, application-specific hardware can be implemented in the edge device, but performance cannot be improved except for specific applications due to a fixed function. This paper introduces a edge-centric metamorphic IoT(mIoT) platform that can use a variety of hardware through on-demand partial reconfiguration despite the limited hardware resources of the edge device, so we can increase the performance and flexibility of the edge device. According to the experimental results, the edge-centric mIoT platform that executes the reconfiguration algorithm at the edge was able to reduce the number of server accesses by up to 82.2% compared to previous studies in which the reconfiguration algorithm was executed on the server.

사물 인터넷 시스템에서 서버와 클라이언트의 신뢰성 확보는 매우 중요하다. 대부분의 IoT 시스템에서 신뢰성 확보를 위해 인증서 기법이 사용되고 있다. 인증서 기법을 사용하는 IoT 시스템은 데이터(인증서,공개키) 탈취 및 분실 취약점이 있다. 이러한 취약점을 강화하기 위해 서버와 클라이언트는 서로 주고받는 데이터의 무결성과 신뢰성을 보장할 수 있는 환경이 구축되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 취약점을 보완하기 위하여 IPFS와 블록체인을 결합한 인증 강화 기법을 제시한다. 제시한 기법의 기본 개념은 IPFS를 이용하여 CA와 서버의 인증서와 공개키를 분산 저장하고, IPFS에 저장한 인증서와 공개키의 Content-Address를 블록체인에 보관한다. 마지막으로 제시한 기법의 타당성을 검토하기 위하여 Mobius, nCube, Ethereum, IPFS를 결합한 IoT 시스템을 구축하고 SSL을 사용한 인증 과정을 실험한다.

MicroSoft Windows 10 IoT version, released in August 2015, successfully drew consumer interest by introducing the familiar Windows into the IoT market, and enabled an easier system construction of IoT web servers. Meanwhile, overdiagnosis has recently emerged as a controversy in medical society. Establishment of communication between IoT servers and medical devices will send treatment results to users and activate communication between hospitals, greatly reducing this problem. The IoT server, with its limited resources, utilizes lightweight protocols that do not generate traffic and are easy to use. This paper proposes IoT networks which will enable medical devices to easily provide ubiquitous environments to their users, through utilization of the lightweight Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) and the secure Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP).

Open IoT platform that shares communication infrastructure and provides cloud resources can flexibly reduce development period and cost of smart service. In this paper, as an open IoT platform, we propose a virtual IoT system based on edge computing that implements a virtual IoT device for a physical IoT device and allows service developers to interact with the virtual device. A management server in the edge cloud, near the IoT physical device, manages the creation, movement, and removal of virtual IoT devices corresponding to the physical IoT devices. This paper define the operations of the management server, the physical IoT device, and the virtual IoT device, which are major components of the virtual IoT system, and design the communication protocol required to perform the operations. Finally, through simulations, this paper evaluate the performance of the edge computing based virtual IoT system by confirming that each component performs the defined states and operations as designed.

This research is to study IoT based implementation of system and network for medical information processing. This paper's configuration environment consists of sensor node, gateway and server node as a basic IoT architecture. Medical terminal as a sensor node asks connect request to his server, and the server accepts the request if the medical device is already registered. Wearable medical device sends its collected sensing data to server, and server processes the received data for data visualization or saves them for usage in the future. This paper describes overall processes and their algorithms and suggests their software processing architecture.

IoT(Internet of Things)는 우리 일상생활에 깊숙이 관여하고 있어서 보안 문제는 중요해지고 있다. OAuth2.0은 웹기반 응용이나 REST 특성의 API를 안전하게 하는 권한부여(authorization) 프레임워크이다. 본 논문에서는 IoT에 OAuth2.0을 적용하여 효율적이고 효과적인 권한부여 기법을 제안한다. OAuth2.0 기술은 서버쪽 기술이지만, IoT에서도 웹을 이용할 수 있는 CoAP 기술이 있으므로 IoT 디바이스 쪽에 접근에 대한 권한부여 기법으로 적용할 수 있다. 제안기법은 권한 부여 서버와 자원 서버와의 키 분배와 해시 함수 및 암호화를 통해 권한부여 기법을 적용한다.
