Segurança e privacidade na internet das coisas: estudo de caso com a Kaa Iot Platform

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the security and privacy solutions implemented by the Internet of Things platform, named Kaa IoT Platform, through a case study. The Internet of Things (IoT), projecting intelligent and interactive environments, establishes that thousands of common devices are connected to networks and then can act under control or autonomously to improve the lives of the users, generating, collecting and processing data in real time. The large volume of devices that can be connected, allies of the low cost to manufacturing small Hardwares and the high diversity of wireless networking technologies, make IoT very important in the modern world and in academic researchs. Platforms as Middlewares, arise in order to standardize and accelerate the development of the IoT. In this scenario, this study becomes relevant to contribute to the development of the area, testing and evaluating these development tools. It is also intended to question the importance of privacy on personal data in the paradigm of the Internet of Things, demonstrating its implicit inference in user adherence to these new technologies. Given this context, it was hypothesized that the Kaa IoT Platform is a valid tool for the development of IoT applications.
