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.

Government regulations and intervention

Government bodies and regulatory agencies have stepped in to recommend and mandate levels of security that must be met by vendors to be considered secure. There has been more interest lately in the US government with regards to ensuring certain security standards are met for connected devices, especially with the growing attacks on IoT systems. It is important to be cognizant of these rules and laws as other countries may adopt similar or, in other cases, completely dissimilar regulations making the job of an IoT architect difficult when scaling globally. These laws affect privacy and security for the individual as well as the nation.

US Congressional Bill – Internet of Things (IoT) Cybersecurity Improvement Act of 2017

IoT security has received attention from various governments. A bipartisan bill (S.1691 – Internet of Things IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act of 2017, https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate...
