Abstract:
Internet of Things (IoT) have been adopted by industries and enterprises in order to utilize the maximum of the facilities it supports. However, security is the biggest challenge in IoT implementation and deployment due to it residing in public internet. With the aim of addressing this issue,this research work focuses on developing a middleware that
could be decoupled with the public internet and leverage big data for large scale enterprises and could be entirely hosted at on-premise intranet. For this purpose, a middleware model is proposed, and a prototype was developed based on the proposed model and was tested for performance with identified evaluation. The proposed middleware model shall address the security concern of enterprises which uses the Internet of Things in their cooperate network.
