The OpenDOF Project is an open-source solution to device, gateway, and cloud communications that includes a standardized object model and secure communication. The project was incubated for 10 years inside of Panasonic, and released in March of 2015.
Security and scalability are critical elements of any Internet of Things solution. Unfortunately, most engineers are not experts in security and have no experience in architecting large-scale systems. This presentation will discuss two open-source solutions to these problems, covering the device, gateway, and cloud.
The presentation will briefly discuss object and security models, and then discuss issues surrounding time-series data collection. Finally we will demonstrate an open-source toolkit for securely gathering data and storing it a variety of cloud storage options including AWS DynamoDB and MongoDB. Participants will leave with the knowledge to start their own data-collection projects using the toolkit.
