IoT and Edge Computing for Architects - Second Edition

By: Perry Lea

Overview of this book

Industries are embracing IoT technologies to improve operational expenses, product life, and people's well-being. An architectural guide is needed if you want to traverse the spectrum of technologies needed to build a successful IoT system, whether that's a single device or millions of IoT devices. IoT and Edge Computing for Architects, Second Edition encompasses the entire spectrum of IoT solutions, from IoT sensors to the cloud. It examines modern sensor systems, focusing on their power and functionality. It also looks at communication theory, paying close attention to near-range PAN, including the new Bluetooth® 5.0 specification and mesh networks. Then, the book explores IP-based communication in LAN and WAN, including 802.11ah, 5G LTE cellular, Sigfox, and LoRaWAN. It also explains edge computing, routing and gateways, and their role in fog computing, as well as the messaging protocols of MQTT 5.0 and CoAP. With the data now in internet form, you'll get an understanding of cloud and fog architectures, including the OpenFog standards. The book wraps up the analytics portion with the application of statistical analysis, complex event processing, and deep learning models. The book then concludes by providing a holistic view of IoT security, cryptography, and shell security in addition to software-defined perimeters and blockchains.

Edge-level network security

Security must be considered from sensor to cloud when architecting IoT solutions. The edge has a significant role in secure data communication as well as isolating different data paths from each other. This section will explore some network standards that should be deployed at the edge.

VLANs

A virtual LAN (VLAN) functions like any other physical LAN, but it enables computers and other devices to be grouped together even if they are not physically attached to the same network switch. The partitioning occurs in the data link layer (two) of the OSI model. VLANs are a form of network segmentation of devices, applications, or users, although they share the same physical network. A VLAN can also group hosts together, although they are not on the same network switch, essentially easing the burden of partitioning networking without running extra cables. IEEE 802.1Q is the standard by which VLANs are built. Essentially, a VLAN uses an identifier or tag...
