IoTivity vs. IoTivity Lite: Two paths to OCF certification
IoTivity, the open-source implementation of Open Connectivity Foundation’s specifications, provides the framework to connect and expand the growing Internet of Things.
The project – a partnership between OCF and the Linux Foundation – brings together the open-source community to accelerate development of the framework and services required to make sure IoT devices can connect securely to the internet and each other. Essentially, IoTivity provides a common language for these devices, enabling seamless device-to-device connectivity. And with billions more connected devices expected to come online by 2020, the need for this common language is crucial.
But in the ever-changing world of IoT, not all devices … [Read More]

Building the Chain of Trust: OCF Launches the Use of PKI
By Ed Agis, Intel
Now that connected devices are beginning to outnumber the world’s population, the need for secure interoperability within the IoT is at an all-time high. With such large amounts of data flowing across the internet and from device to device, sensitive information can land in the wrong hands. The first step for IoT security requires a robust means to authenticate and authorize devices onto the cloud.
For that purpose, organizations must build the “chain of trust” needed to authenticate, certify and authorize devices onto cloud networks. This chain of trust must provide mutual authentication between devices, maintain the integrity and confidentiality of collected data, ensure the legitimacy of software downloaded on devices and preserve the privacy of any sensitive data to stay in line with security regulations.
