Vitheia As

Vitheia Internet of Everything Platform (VIEP) Common Communication Layer • IoT structure built as a network of XMPP servers • Each XMPP server represents a domain (e.g. home.net, hospital.org, etc.) • CCL servers are subdomains of an XMPP domain (e.g. my.home.net, ward.hospital.org, etc.) • Things (switches, thermostat, conference sessions, surveillance cameras, etc.) represented as VIEP nodes • Unique patentable extensions on top of the structure are built to ensure full connectivity and scalability Connecting everything to everything! • VIEP nodes identified as uuid@domain (e.g. uniqueID@hermess.example.com) • Interactions (with other entities: e.g. people, devices, scenarios, services, etc.) o Expose state (request/response; e.g. retrieve the light switch state) o Reacts to commands (request/response; e.g. turn on the light switch) o Generate events (publish/subscribe; e.g. the light switch was turned off) • Media streams (audio, video, application sharing, etc.) complements XMPP communication through extensions Bus Integration Layer • Unifies access to different (already configured) industrial buses like KNX, Dali, Sensagon, CibTech, OnVif, DMX, Eaton/xComfort, DscPower etc. • Abstracts common functionalities regardless of the product vendor • Stores data like events and state history • Easy to extend support for other buses • Possibility of interaction between products from different buses (vendors) • Open API towards vendors for integration Security Vitheia is working with leading experts within network security, focusing on continuous improvement of the IoT-architecture security. We are publishing the open parts our of work as scientific reports. • Encryption • Authentication • Authorization - fine grained permissions built on top of XMPP (ownership, read, write, admin, etc.); possibility of inter-organization authorization • Auditing - who did a certain action • Automated monitoring - 24/7 system monitoring
