Abstract

We present a secure Internet of Things (IoT) architecture for Smart Cities. The large-scale deployment of IoT technologies within a city promises to make city operations efficient while improving quality of life for city inhabitants. Mission-critical Smart City data, captured from and carried over IoT networks, must be secured to prevent cyber attacks that might cripple city functions, steal personal data and inflict catastrophic harm. We present an architecture containing four basic IoT architectural blocks for secure Smart Cities: Black Network, Trusted SDN Controller, Unified Registry and Key Management System. Together, these basic IoT-centric blocks enable a secure Smart City that mitigates cyber attacks beginning at the IoT nodes themselves.
