As I
mentioned earlier, the one of problem that IoT will be fundamentally
different from everything we had dealt before. One example, the trust
in the current network is based on digital certificates are issued by
the hierarchy of Certificate Authorities. Basically, each CA
maintains two data sets: one for valid certificates and one for
revoked certificates. While number of issued certificates is limited
the whole system of trust somehow works, the revoke lists are
relatively short and the traffic for validation of certificate is
small. Now, just scale everything to the magnitude of IoT, how it
will look like?
The
problem seems to be too complex, to process everything on the edge or
in the sensor space and it means mainly that “The Everything”
need to be partitioned by a cost on the transmission a single data
bit and some dimensional or space boundaries...
