IoT Policy and Governance Reference Architecture: Integrity and Security of Information Across IoT Devices

The Internet of Things (IoT) technology has been applied to our daily life infrastructure to make our lives easier and more comfortable. However, various variations in the IoT reference architecture represent that the developers need to be aware in order to implement the technology in a secure and accurate form. The knowledge of these reference architectures is important as they provide the guidelines for IoT developers and enterprises to develop high-quality IoT products. Requirements such as security, data process, and privacy issues must always be concerned. The reference architectures are used in the development of IoT products. This paper discusses and explores IoT-related field topics ranging from IoT reference architecture to policy to governance. Different kinds of variations in the reference architecture and the IoT governance policy are discussed to ensure the integrity and security of information transmitted across devices in the IoT ecosystem.
