Abstract

IoTSyS is open source middleware for IoT and has the potential to provide easy access to home automation. It incorporates RESTful web services on HTTP/CoAP communication protocol. It has a gateway which communicates with IoTSyS users as well as devices. Gateway consists of an oBIX server, CoAP server and object broker for its execution. In IoTSyS, SSL security using TomCat Server is deployed between Users and IoTSyS for secure communication. However, the area of data communication between IoT Devices and Gateway is needed to be addressed. In this paper, Message-level Security instead of transport level security is used to provide end-to-end secure communication between IoT devices and Gateway. Various symmetric and asymmetric security algorithms along with different data formats such as XML, JSON and EXI are executed and compared on our experimental setup. Our results show that Blowfish encryption algorithm is more suitable for IoTSyS framework.
