최근 무선 통신 기술과 센서 디바이스들의 발달로 인터넷을 기반으로 모든 사물을 연결하여 사람과 사물, 사물과 사물 간의 정보를 상호 소통 가능한 센서 기반 IoT 환경이 다양한 분야에 활용되고 있다. 이러한 사물인터넷 환경은 지능형 서비스를 위해 다양하고 방대한 양의 디바이스 정보를 수집하며, 사용자 정보를 기반으로 서비스를 제공받고 디바이스를 제어해야 하며, 이기종 간의 디바이스를 활용함으로 올바른 표준을 기반으로 통신이 이루어져야 한다. 하지만, 사물인터넷 환경에서의 기존 연구나 표준 정의를 살펴보면, 현재 IoT 서비스에서는 이미 취약점이 들어난 커버로스 및 센서 노드의 수를 고려하지 않은 PKI 기반 보안 기술이 활용되고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 안전한 디바이스 인증을 위한 무인증서 기반 상호 인증 기법을 제안한다.

As the scale of the Internet of Things (IoT) environment grows and develops day by day, the information collected and shared through IoT devices becomes increasingly diverse and more common. However, because IoT devices have limitations on computing power and a low power capacity due to their miniaturized size, it is difficult to apply security technologies like encryption and authentication that have been directly applied in the previous Internet environment, making the IoT vulnerable to security threats. Because of this weakness, important information that needs to be delivered safely and accurately is exposed to the threat of malicious exploitation, such as data forgery, data leakage, and infringement of personal information. In order to overcome this threat, various security studies are being actively conducted to compensate for the weaknesses in IoT environment devices. In particular, since various devices interact, and share and communicate information collected in the IoT environment, each device should be able to communicate with reliability. With regard to this, various studies have been carried out on techniques for device authentication. This study examines the limitations and problems of the authentication techniques that have been studied thus far, and proposes technologies that can certify IoT devices for safe communication between reliable devices in the Internet environment.

Various kinds of devices are used for the Internet of Things (IoT) service, and IoT devices mainly use communication technology that uses the frequency of the unlicensed band. There are several types of communication technology in the unlicensed band, but WiFi is most commonly used. Devices used for IoT services vary in computing resources from devices with limited capabilities to smartphones and provide services over wireless networks such as WiFi. Most IoT devices can't perform complex operations for network control, thus they choose a WiFi access point (AP) based on signal strength. This causes a decrease in IoT service efficiency. In this paper, an intelligent AP system that can efficiently control the WiFi connection of the IoT devices is implemented. Based on the network information measured by the IoT device, the access point learns using a feed forward neural network algorithm, and predicts a network connection state to control the WiFi connection. By controlling the WiFi connection at the AP, the service efficiency of the IoT device can be improved.

With the rise of internet of things (IoT), there have been several studies to analyze the technological trend and technological convergence. However, previous work have been relied on the qualitative work that investigate the IoT trend and implication for future business. In response, this study considers the patent information as the proxy measure of technology, and conducts a quantitative and analytic approach for analyzing technological convergence using patent co-classification analysis and text mining. First, this study investigate the characteristics of IoT business, and characterize IoT business into four dimensions: device, network, platform, and services. After this process, total 923 patent classes are classified into four types of IoT technology group. Since most of patent classes are classified into device technology, we developed a co-classification network for both device technology and all technologies. Patent keywords are also extracted and these keywords are also classified into four types: device, network, platform, and services. As a result, technologies for several IoT devices such as sensors, healthcare, and energy management are derived as a main convergence group for the device network. For the total IoT network, base network technology plays a key role to characterize technological convergence in the IoT network, mediating the technological convergence in each application area such as smart healthcare, smart home, and smart grid. This work is expected to effectively be utilized in the technology planning of IoT businesses.

This paper proposes an Internet of Things (IoT) middleware called Middleware for Cooperative Interaction of Things (MinT). MinT supports a fully distributed IoT environment in which IoT devices directly connect to peripheral devices, easily constructing a local or global network and sharing their data in an energy efficient manner. MinT provides a sensor abstract layer, a system layer and an interaction layer. These layers enable integrated sensing device operations, efficient resource management, and interconnection between peripheral IoT devices. In addition, MinT provides a high-level API, allowing easy development of IoT devices by developers. We aim to enhance the energy efficiency and performance of IoT devices through the performance improvements offered by MinT resource management and request processing. The experimental results show that the average request rate increased by 25% compared to existing middlewares, average response times decreased by 90% when resource management was used, and power consumption decreased by up to 68%. Finally, the proposed platform can reduce the latency and power consumption of IoT devices.

Things Internet technology is rapidly becoming a reality in many parts of our lives through various product services. As the perception of Internet services for things has become more common and the intention to purchase Internet devices has begun to increase, various Internet devices have appeared and the need for a server to control them has been emphasized. In addition, IFTTT, a representative Internet automation service platform, is continuously diversifying related services such as home appliances, light bulbs, and smart homes, and has a variety of Internet information such as weather information and news, which can be utilized through IFTTT. And MQTT, which is designed for use in low-power, low-bandwidth environments. This paper implements a server for controlling and managing Internet devices and related services based on IFTTT and MQTT.

The purpose of this study is to examine possibilities of industry secret information leakage through IoT devices and to prevent information leakage from the perspective of administrative and technique security. From the administrative security perspective, first, it is important to face the possibility of industry information data leakage through anyone who can access companies and should establish guidelines to limit the use of IoT devices when entering companies. Second, security management guideline should be prepared by companies or upon user's request and use of any electronic devices sharing wireless internet connection should be eliminated or restricted. From technique security perspective, channels that sharing IoT devices in computers should be controlled since industry secret information are stored in computers and servers. Furthermore, IoT devices that accessing wireless internet network or devices that already registered should be regularly checked in order to minimize any information leakage. Lastly, data and information stored in computers and servers should be encrypted.

사물인터넷(IoT)은 각종 사물에 센서 와 통신 기능을 내장하여 인터넷에 연결하는 기술로 초고속 이동통신, 고감도 센서, 빅 데이터 처리 등 3대 핵심기술의 발전과 저가격화로 사물인터넷 시대가 가시화되고 있다. 그리고 근거리 위치 인식과 통신기술을 이용해 각종 정보와 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 비콘 기술은 사물인터넷 시대에 온 오프라인 서비스 융합을 가능하게 할 핵심 기술로 부각되고 있다. 그러나 현재 비콘을 활용한 위치기반서비스는 비콘이 데이터를 송신하고 스마트기기가 수신해 상품정보, 쿠폰 발행 등의 마케팅을 위한 수단으로만 활용되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 비콘을 활용한 위치기반서비스를 제공하기 위해 서버와의 연동으로 다양한 서비스가 가능한 사물인터넷 디바이스를 제안한다.
