Constrained RESTful Environments tolerate and even benefit from proxy services. We explore the concept of proxies installed at entry points to constrained networks without any unified management. We sketch proxies of different levels of intrusiveness ...

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) introduced the Thing Description (TD), a standardized and unified human- and machine-readable semantic description of Internet of Things (IoT) devices that focuses on describing how to interact with the described ...

Networked cameras continue to be an attractive target of cyber-attacks and therefore present huge risks to organizations. The use of vulnerable credentials (manufacturers default or publicly known) by these devices remains a primary concern for network ...

Inter-Process Communication (IPC) mechanisms are simple, OS-provided communication endpoints that do not typically accommodate program-level needs on latency, resource utilization, and mobility. But modern network-connected devices, particularly in IoT, ...

Configuration activities constitute a large part of the work in operating an IoT system. Such activities include the onboarding of devices and rollout of firmware updates. Configuration activities must be carefully vetted to prevent faulty states, ...

We postulate that if an IoT device is able to produce trustworthy evidence about itself using Remote Attestation Procedures, it should be possible to augment its affordances with a new "trustworthiness" quality that allows to securely bind any ...
