The second part of the IoT Standards & Protocols blog covers the application protocols which can be divided into general application protocols and specialized application protocols for covering specific use cases.

Internet of Things (IoT) has undergone a wide adoption in many domains over the past years. The first thing that comes to mind when discussing IoT solutions are physical devices, hardware, either sensors that sense the environment or actuators which change the environment, and applications (software) through which IoT devices can be sensed and controlled.

Often, building an authentication system requires some sort of deployment of IoT devices. At worst, every user needs a RFID device (similar to a key) to authenticate themselves. The idea proposed in this paper (Shi et al.) is to use present Wi-Fi infrastructure, which is very widely available (e.g. your local library has it, even the local candle shop likely has Wi-Fi).

I recommend checking it out just because its design is stunning. Of course, the topic is also very interesting - CPEs and Internet of Things (IoT) devices often have very low energy requirements. On the one hand, such devices are inherently small and require less energy.

Legacy provisioning applications, such as early Auto Configuration Servers (ACS), can lead to support overhead, dead-end roadmaps and limited feature and upgrade options under certain circumstances.

In light of the current pandemic, global technology market advisory firm ABI Research estimates that Connected Home devices could see a 30% year-on-year sales surge in the coming months.
