본고에서는 최근 가장 주목 받고 있는 연구 분야 중 하나인 사물인터넷(Internet of Things, IoT)을 위한 Domain Name System(DNS) 네이밍 서비스 기술동향에 대해 소개한다. IoT 환경에서 IoT 디바이스를 관리하기 위해 DNS 네임을 일일이 수동적으로 설정하는 것은 비효율적이다. 따라서 본고에서는 IoT 환경에서 수많은 IoT 디바이스의 관리를 위한 IoT 디바이스의 DNS 네임 자동설정 및 네이밍 서비스 기술에 대해 소개하고 분석한다. 본고에서 소개하는 IoT 네이밍 서비스 기술은 Internet Engineering Task Force(IETF)에서 제정된 표준 프로토콜을 이용하므로 구현이 용이하고 성능적인 면에서도 우수하다. IoT 디바이스의 DNS 네임이 사용자들에게 가독성 있으면서도 기계적으로 파싱이 용이하면 IoT 디바이스 관리를 효과적으로 수행할 수 있다. 즉 설정된 IoT 디바이스 DNS 네임으로 인터넷 사용자가 스마트폰과 태블릿과 같은 모바일 스마트 디바이스로 IoT 디바이스를 원격에서 모니터링 및 원격제어 할 수 있다. 본고에서는 IoT 디바이스에 연관된 네이밍 서비스 기술들을 비교 분석하고, 본 저자가 제안하는 IoT 디바이스 DNS 네이밍 기술을 소개하고자 한다.

Internet of Things (IoT), one of the emerging research areas, is the computing paradigm where various things connect to the network and cooperate with their neighbors to reach common goals. Computing with IoT devices opens up a new array of opportunities for providing value-added smart services and applications to end users. That is, IoT devices play an important role of providing useful services to the users. However, the states of IoT devices are dynamically changed at runtime, which come from their mobility, network connectivity, and a battery drain problem. This dynamism results in difficulties in managing these IoT devices. In this paper, we propose a framework to manage those IoT devices with dynamism. Hence, we first derive issues from IoT devices' dynamism. And, we define a set of requirements to manage the IoT devices and present a framework to manage the device dynamism. The framework is equipped by a device discovery method, a device status monitoring method, a device selection and connection method, and a device replacement method. Finally, we verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the framework through experiments.

IoT devices that collect information for end users and provide various services like giving traffic or weather information to them that are located everywhere aim to raise quality of life. Currently, the number of devices has dramatically increased so that there are many companies and laboratories for developing various IoT devices in the world. However, research about IoT computing such as connecting IoT devices or management is at an early stage. A server node that manages lots of IoT device in IoT computing environment is certainly needed. But, it is difficult to manage lots of devices efficiently. However, anyone cannot surly know about how many servers are needed or where they are located in the environment. In this paper, we suggest a method that is a way to dynamic clustering IoT computing environment by logical distance among devices. With our proposed method, we can ensure to manage the quality in large-scale IoT environment efficiently.

Open IoT platform that shares communication infrastructure and provides cloud resources can flexibly reduce development period and cost of smart service. In this paper, as an open IoT platform, we propose a virtual IoT system based on edge computing that implements a virtual IoT device for a physical IoT device and allows service developers to interact with the virtual device. A management server in the edge cloud, near the IoT physical device, manages the creation, movement, and removal of virtual IoT devices corresponding to the physical IoT devices. This paper define the operations of the management server, the physical IoT device, and the virtual IoT device, which are major components of the virtual IoT system, and design the communication protocol required to perform the operations. Finally, through simulations, this paper evaluate the performance of the edge computing based virtual IoT system by confirming that each component performs the defined states and operations as designed.

IoT의 주요 구성요소는 기존의 데스크 탑 외에 디바이스 즉, 단말 기기들이 주류를 이룬다. 이러한 IoT 디바이스들은 데이터의 유형이나 접근 방법이 다양하고, 실시간적 데이터 생산과 제어를 위한 양방향 데이터 접근 지원을 필요로 한다. 이러한 IoT 디바이스를 연결하여 클라우드 형 서비스로 개발하기 위해서는 디바이스 속성 관리가 용이한 도메인 관리 방법과 디바이스에 대한 일관된 접근 인터페이스를 제공하는 플랫폼이 필요하다. 이 논문에서는 리눅스 파일시스템 후면 즉, 사용자 영역에 리눅스 파일 시스템 스타일의 DB 기반 가상 파일시스템을 구축하여 IoT 디바이스를 연결하고 관리하는 프레임워크를 제시한다. 구현 가상 파일시스템은 계층적 디렉터리 체계를 DB에 유지하면서 단말 노드에는 지리적으로 산재한 IoT 디바이스들에 대한 속성 정보를 관리한다. 디렉터리 및 IoT 디바이스의 추가 삭제 검색 등 도메인 관리는 mkdir. mknod, ls, find 등 리눅스 고유 명령어로 이루어지고, 모든 IoT 디바이스에 대한 접근은 open(), read(), write(), close() 등 POSIX 인터페이스를 통해 가능하다.

With ICT technology develops, IoT environment is attracting attention. However, IoT devices have various CPU performance as much as various purpose of use. Some IoT devices use the cpu that doesn't support public key cryptogrphy or crypto acceleration. In this paper, we study Blockchain-based IoT Device Authentication Scheme that provides authentication, integirity and non-repudation through analysis of Lamport Hash-chain, Lamport Signature, Blockchain and existing Authentication protocols. The proposed scheme requires only simple hash operation in IoT devices and it can operate in low performance IoT device, thus ensuring secure authentication in IoT environment.

As the use of various IoT devices increases, the importance of IoT platforms is also rising. Recently, artificial intelligence technology is being combined with IoT devices, and research applying a neuromorphic architecture to IoT devices with low power is also increasing. In this paper, an application scenario is proposed based on NA-IDE (Neuromorphic Architecture-based autonomous IoT application integrated development environment) with IoT devices and FPGA devices in a GUI format. The proposed scenario connects a camera module to an IoT device, collects MNIST dataset images online, recognizes the collected images through a neuromorphic board, and displays the recognition results through a device module connected to other IoT devices. If the neuromorphic architecture is applied to many IoT devices and used for various application services, the autonomous IoT application integrated development environment based on the neuromorphic architecture is expected to emerge as a core technology leading the 4th industrial revolution.

With IoT device technology developments, such devices now can perceive the surrounding environment and operate upon the condition, but a method for efficiently processing an enormous amount of IoT device data is required. The existing cloud computing has a transmission delay problem due to load and distance. Fog Computing, an environment to control IoT devices, therefore, emerged to solve this problem. In Fog Computing, IoT devices are located close to each other to solve the shortcomings of the cloud system. While many earlier studies on Fog Computing for IoT mainly focus on its structure and framework, we would like to propose an integrated Fog Computing platform that monitors, analyzes, and controls IoT devices.

최근 IoT 기술이 홈케어, 헬스케어, 자동차, 교통, 농업, 제조업 등 다양한 분야에 적용되면서 신성장 동력의 핵심으로 IoT 서비스를 제공하거나 IoT 환경을 자체적으로 구축하여 산업현장에 도입하려는 기업이나 기관이 증가하고 있다. 그러나 IoT 환경은 인터넷을 통해 현실세계와 IoT 디바이스가 직접 연결되는 특성으로 인해서 IoT 보안의 중요성이 더욱 강조되고 있으며 IoT를 이용한 보안 사고 사례 및 취약점이 지속적으로 발표되면서 IoT 보안 위험 또한 계속 증가되고 있다. 이렇게 IoT 환경에는 많은 취약점과 보안 위협이 존재하기에 IoT 제품의 최초 설계/개발 단계부터 배포/설치/구성 단계, 운영/관리/폐기 단계까지 IoT 제품 및 서비스의 각 단계별로 보안 요구사항과 가이드라인을 적용하여 보안을 내재화하고 IoT 제품 및 서비스를 도입하는 사용자 입장에서 IoT 보안에 대해서 관심을 가지고 스스로 확인 할 수 있도록 보안 점검 기준이 필요하다. 본고에서는 IoT 디바이스의 특성과 보안 요구사항에 따른 보안 원칙 및 보안 가이드를 살펴보고 IoT 기술을 산업현장에 적용하고자 하는 기관/기업에 적용 가능한 IoT 디바이스의 보안 점검 기준을 제시한다.

The IoT industry is growing at a record growth rate every year, but developers face practical problems such as security, data storage, and heterogeneity between devices before developing an IoT platform. In particular, heterogeneity between devices occurs due to network type and protocol, and device firmware must be changed or multiple IoT platforms must be used in some cases. In addition, data is wasted due to redundant sensing due to the overflow of indiscriminate IoT devices. In this paper, we propose a device-independent firmware design to solve the heterogeneity between devices in the IoT platform environment where Local WAS uses the MQTT protocol.
