The Internet of Things (IoT), combined with various technologies, is rapidly becoming an integral part of our daily life. While it is rapidly taking root in society, security considerations are relatively insufficient, making it a major target for cyber attacks. Since all devices in the IoT environment are connected to the Internet and are closely used in daily life, the damage caused by cyber attacks is also serious. Therefore, encryption communication using a network security protocol must be considered for a service in a more secure IoT environment. A representative network security protocol includes TLS (Transport Layer Protocol) defined by the IETF. This paper analyzes the performance measurement results for TLS version 1.2 and version 1.3 in an IoT device open platform environment to predict the load of TLS, a representative network security protocol, in IoT devices with limited resource characteristics. In addition, by analyzing the performance of each major cryptographic algorithm in version 1.3, we intend to present a standard for setting appropriate network security protocol properties according to IoT device specifications.

Internet of Things (IoT) is proliferating to provide more intelligent services by interconnecting various Internet devices, and TCP based MQTT is being used as a standard communication protocol of the IoT. Although it is recommended to use TLS/SSL security protocol for TCP with MQTT-based IoT devices, encryption and decryption performance degenerates when applied to low-specification / low-capacity IoT devices. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end message security protocol using elliptic curve cryptosystem, a lightweight encryption algorithm, which improves performance on both sides of the client and server, based on the simulation of TLS/SSL and the proposed protocol.

Recently, as the interest in power saving increases with the development of IoT technology, research on power saving of smart devices, which are being miniaturized, is being actively conducted. In particular, due to the diversification of IoT-based smart devices and the increase in personal penetration rate, the issue of standby power even when not in use is increasing. However, there is a drawback of physically unplugging the outlet or turning off the power in order to substantially reduce standby power. Since Zigbee is used instead of the existing IP, it is necessary to change to the IoT standard protocol based on the Internet network. Therefore, this paper designed and implemented the standby power saving system applying CoAP, the IoT standard protocol, to the existing Zigbee technology. Existing systems and evaluations confirmed that the average standby power of about 8.4Wh was reduced.

Developing the TCP/IP standard IBA which is higher organization of IETF decided to attach the TCP/IP protocol stack to small things, such as sensor. This means small object is also considered as on of the communication node, it has symbolic meaning that expand smart object has all five layer. Under this background, IoT/WoT configure the intelligent network between objects based on the internet to communication was introduced. Things has own IP address on IoT environment and are smart object that a lot of people communicate over the internet on Application Layer. In other words, IoT is that smart object are commercialized space. According to the interest of IoT, IETF establish CoAP for use as IoT protocol. CoAP is expected that standard protocols created by things is connected to the Internet protocol that can be used within a constrained environment. Accordingly, in this paper, we proposed Middleware API that can manage and collect the data of objects that connected CoAP network.

Recently, IETF (Internet Engineering Task) working group has adopted CoAP (Constrained Application Protocol) as a standard IoT proctocol. CoAP is a specialized web transfer protocol for use with constrained nodes and constrained environment such as small memory and low power networks. In this paper, we design and implement a registration service with CoAP protocol based on RD(Resource Directory) to connect IoT nodes in mobile Internet environments. The resource directory between the mobile terminal and IoT nodes provides to discover the IoT nodes and get the context data. The mobile terminal has as the CoAP client and embedded IoT nodes includes as the CoAP server so that it can conveniently manage the constrained IoT nodes to get the context data and control devices in a mobile environments.

For efficient energy usage, the concept of demand response has been emerged and thereby Open Automated D emand Response(OpenADR) protocol is developed as a standard protocol to provide automated demand response. There have been emerging trends on the demand response services using the Internet of Things(IoT) for smart h ome energy management. In this smart home energy IoT environment, a lightweight protocol is needed rather tha n the existing HTTP/ XML based OpenADR protocol for demand response services since many small devices wi ll be interconnected. In this paper, we propose a lightweight OpenADR protocol based on CoAP protocol for pro viding demand response service in Smart Energy IoT environment, implement the proposed CoAP-based protocol, and analyzed the performance compared to existing HTTP/ XML-based OpenADR 2.0b protocol.

The standardization of e-IoT (energy Internet of Things) communication and service, which is the energy field of energy, is to define the standard model and to demonstrate the practical model in order to take the lead and occupy the market where new market is created with the latest technology. In particular, detailed technical specifications are defined for developing a framework for IoT technology, the foundation technology of the 4th Industrial Revolution, securing interoperability through standardization, and operating a standard platform. In this paper, we propose a method for e-IoT standard protocol lightening and test certification procedure. The proposed method provides a product implementation method that can solve the problem of low power issue of e-IoT product in the future.

There are many types of power facilities such as transformers, switches, and energy storage devices in the micro grid environment. However, with the development of IoT technology, opportunities to acquire sensor information such as temperature, pressure, and humidity are provided. In the existing micro grid environment, the communication protocols such as MMS transport protocol in IEC 61850 standard is applied in accordance with the integrated operation between the power facilities and the platform. Therefore, to accommodate IoT data, a gateway technology that can link IoT data to a data collection device (FEP) based on IEC 61850 is required. In this paper, we propose IEC 61850 based IoT gateway platform prototype for microgrid operating system linkage. The gateway platform consists of an IoT protocol interface module (MQTT, CoAP, AMQP) and database, IEC 61850 server. For databases, We used open source based NoSQL databases, Hbase and MongoDB, to store JSON data. We verified the interoperability between the IoT protocol and the IEC 61850 protocol using Sisco's MMS EASY Lite.

In Internet of Things (IoT) environment, a variety of smart devices are connected to Internet through various network technologies such as 4G/5G, WiBro, Bluetooth, etc. in order to provide the remote monitoring service such as smart healthcare service, etc. Most standard mobility management protocols based on IETF Mobile IP may not be suitable for Internet of Things (IoT) environments due to constrained power, constrained CPU processing and memory capacity, and large signalling overhead which are inherently accompanied by various devices in IoT environments. In this article, we propose a new mobility management protocol CoMP (CoAP-based Mobility Managemenbt Protocol) for reliable mobility management in IoT environments. The architecture and algorithm to achieve both reliability and simplicity for IoT mobility management are proposed. Finally, performance has been evaluated by both mathematical analysis and simulation.
