The IEC MSB decided to write a paper on

Smart and Secure IoT Platform

To have a holistic view on the topic, several

academic and industry partners as well as a

government authority joined the project

The MSB requested a forward looking paper,

which first required assessing the state of IoT

today as well as identifying its limitations and

deficiencies

The expertise of the involved partners created

the forward looking part of the paper based on

these limits and deficiencies as well as ten

partner use cases

The result is identification of the capabilities of

a Smart and Secure IoT Platform and the

required next-generation enabling

technologies, as well as requisite

standardization needs

Key recommendations to

IEC The Internet of

Things (IoT) and

associated

business models

are still

immature

Through 2020,

80% of all IoT

projects will fail

at the

implementation

stage1

Thus the major

transformation

the world will

face from IoT is

still to come!

The paper gives an outlook of

what the next big step in IoT

could be – the Smart & Secure

IoT Platform:

– ‘Platform of platforms’

concept bridging the gaps

between different existing

‘legacy’ platforms not designed

for IoT

– Advanced connectivity and

device management capabilities

that can handle huge volumes

of devices

– Sophisticated sensing,

processing and analytics to

provide real insight and action

– End-to-end security and

safety concept from device to

application ensuring trust,

privacy and identity

management

Bringing the

ambitious

IoT visions

to life will

require

significant

efforts in

standardi-

zation

A desired

future IoT

standardi-

zation

ecosystem

environ-

ment to

address

those needs

is suggested

in the paper

Take the lead in

establishing an IoT

standardization

ecosystem

environment

Task the ISO/IEC JTC1

Leadership for various

activities

entities to increase

level of participation

and identification of

requirements so that

IEC deliverables

address their concerns

The interplay of the three

domains platform, edge

and device within a system

and between systems is key

to the Smart & Secure IoT

Platform

Capabilities and future

technologies related to

connectivity, processing,

memory, sensing, actions

and most importantly

security of more and more

flexible and vulnerable

systems have been

considered and analyzed in

the paper

Future IoT use cases covering three

different application domains –

industry, public sector, and customer

One use case per domain covered in

main document:

– Industrial domain: Business

Continuity Management for

Production Lines

– Public domain: Smart Cities

– Customer domain: Improved

Journey Experience in Public

Transport for Passengers with

Special Needs

Seven more use cases covered in

appendix of the document

Capabilities and requirements for Smart and Secure IoT Platforms

Capabilities and requirements are derived from the use cases

related to

– Connectivity (example s. below)

– Processing

– Interoperability

– Memory

– Sensing

– Actions

– Security

Current standardization environment provides challenges to

optimizing IoT

There are opportunities to create a more positive standardization

ecosystem that supports the needs of governments, private sector, and

users:

– Horizontal standardization – International standards should be the

preferred approach for standards activities that cross domains,

geopolitical boundaries, functionalities, and requirements done at the

international level

– Vertical and specialty standards – Standards that are domain

specific or geopolitical should come from relevant organizations.

Wherever possible they should draw on higher-level horizontal

standards

– Requirements – Horizontal requirements definition organizations such

as IIC play a key role

All standards bodies, consortia, geopolitical entities and others involved in IoT should

– adopt the future IoT Standardization Ecosystem Environment

– look for opportunities to increase cooperation and collaboration

Governments should increase funding support for unrestricted research into the various

technology requirements identified

ITU, IEEE, and 3GPP should take the lead in pushing 5G finalization and deployment until

2018

Governments and private sector should come together to create a joint cooperative

security framework

IEC is in a unique position to drive the IoT forward and help make the Smart and Secure

IoT Platform a reality.

Accordingly, the IEC should take the following actions:

– Take the lead in establishing the IoT standardization ecosystem environment

– Task the ISO/IEC JTC1 Leadership for various IoT standardization activities

– Work more closely with government entities to increase level of participation and

identification of requirements so that IEC deliverables address their concerns
