Quality and Security Frameworks for IoT-Architecture Models Evaluation

Abstract

The concept behind IoT is as powerful as it is complex, and for the entities and modules in the IoT solution to mesh together perfectly, they all must be part of a well-thought-out structure. That is where accomplishing a deep understanding, IoT architecture becomes paramount given the complexity of IoT domains and platforms. In this paper, we present a comparative analysis of IoT-architecture models based on IoT reference architecture proposed by ISO. Herewith, the paper aims at establishing a common grounding and language based on the business adoption reference IoT architecture vis-á-vis a standard model ISO/IEC 30141. We built an Analysis Architecture Quality Security Model-AAQSM based on quantitative metrics and scoring methods we have defined in reference to criteria standards. AAQSM helped unify evaluation metrics critical to fulfilling specific quality and security attribute requirements and classify architecture models by score.
