24
Q

Adequate

25
What is the application layer?
Responsible for delivering application specific services to the user. Defines applications in which the system can be deployed
26
What is the network layer?
Responsible for connecting smart things, network devices and servers. Also used to transmit and process sensor data
27
What is the perception layer?
Senses physical parameters or identifies objects in the environment
28
What is the business layer?
Manages the whole system
29
What is the processing layer?
Stores, analyses and processes large amounts of data
30
What is the transport layer?
Transfers the sensor data between different layers through networks
31
What is the architecture of cloud computing?
Data processing is done in large centralised fashion
32
What is the architecture of fog computing?
A layered approach which inserts monitoring, pre-processing, storage and security layers between the physical and transport layers
33
What are the limitations of processing everything on the cloud?
Smart devices are mobile which makes communication difficult Latency sensitive systems require real time responses Multiple devices increase latency
34
What four main challenges are faced with IoT communication?
Addressing and identification - each device must have a unique address across the network Low power Low memory High speed, lossless comms
35
Define big data
A collection of data sets so large and complex that it's difficult to process using on-hand database system tools and traditional data processing applications
36
What are the 7 V's of big data?
``` Volume Variety Velocity Variability Veracity Visualisation Value ```
37
What is the variety of data?
The different kinds of data generated from various sources
38
What is the velocity of data?
The rate at which data is generated
39
What is the variability of data?
The meaning of data changes
40
What is the veracity of data?
Uncertainties and inconsistencies in data
41
What are the 3 main problems with big data?
Storing exponentially growing huge datasets Processing data having complex structure Processing data faster
42
What solutions are there to storing big data?
Using Hadoop which is a distributed file system. It divides files into smaller chunks and stores it across the cluster. It's scalable
43
What solutions are there to storing unstructured data?
HDFS allows any kind of data (structured, semi-structured or unstructured) to be stored. Follows write once read many. No schema validation is done with dumping data
44
What solutions are there to processing data faster?
Hadoop provides parallel processing of data. Allows data to be processed locally
45
What is big data analytics?
Examines large and different types of data to uncover patterns and correlations
46
What are the security goals of IoT?
Confidentiality – data is secured to authorized parties Integrity – data is trusted to be kept safe Availability – data is accessible when and where needed Non-repudiation – service provides a trusted audit trail Authenticity – components can prove their identity Privacy – service does not automatically ‘see’ customer data
47
What are the 4 classes of security attacks? List some examples
Physical attacks – Node tampering, RF interference, physical damage, social engineering, sleep deprivation attack, code injection on node etc. Network attacks – Traffic analysis attack, RFID spoofing/cloning, MITM attack, routing information, Sybil attack Software attacks – Virus and Worms, Spyware, Trojans, DOS, Malicious scripts Encryption attacks – Side channel attacks, MITM, cryptanalysis attack
48
What are the ways of securing an IoT system?
Physical layer – secure booting, device authentication, data integrity, data confidentiality, anonymity Network layer – data privacy, routing security, data integrity Application layer – data security, access control lists, firewalls, anti-virus
49
What are the 4 legal issues that IoT presents?
Discrimination - IoT data allows consumers to be sorted and discriminated against Privacy Security - No jurisdictional boundaries Consent - Consumer protection laws currently not prepared to tackle consent issues
50
What are the characteristics of an IoT device?
Small and low powered Has communications capabilities Can sense or control its environment
