Design of A Smart Gateway Based on REST API for Data Transmission System Between Edge Devices and Server in The Aquaculture Sector

The focus of this research is to design and implement a smart network gateway using REST API to enhance the efficiency and security of data transmission in the aquaculture sector. The increasing need for aquaculture farmers to monitor environmental conditions in real time requires an effective and secure data transmission system. The purpose of the proposed system is to ensure data transmission is more secure and efficient by combining data compression algorithms such as GZIP and ZLIB with AES encryption. This study evaluates the system's performance in real-world scenarios by comparing data size and transmission duration with and without compression and encryption. The study's findings indicate that ZLIB is more efficient in compressing data compared to GZIP, and that combining ZLIB with AES results in the most efficient data size and transmission duration. The system's ability to integrate with IoT infrastructure enables real-time monitoring, improving productivity and operational efficiency in aquaculture.
