Fostering a Framework for Secure Data Transfer From IoT Devices To Cloud

The Internet of Things (IoT) has indeed introduced a new era of connectivity and data-driven insights, profoundly altering everyday activities execution. The data collected by IoT devices, ranging from simple sensors to sophisticated systems integrated within urban infrastructure, gather and transmit data on a large scale, supporting a wide spectrum of applications including individual health metrics, home energy consumption, traffic flow, and industrial operations. The massive volume and diversity of data captured offer valuable insights and optimization opportunities but also create new crucial challenges, particularly within the information security domain. The integrity and reliability of this data are key for maintaining the accuracy, consistency, and trustworthiness of the information produced. These aspects are especially critical considering that, the generated data often involves sensitive and personal information utilized across various applications and systems. Ensuring the data’s integrity and reliability is not just about maintaining its quality but also about securing the privacy and security of individuals. This paper presents a programming framework, using asymmetric cryptography, that allows the transfer of generated data from IoT devices to the Cloud, mitigating some of the most common attack surfaces.
