1 Executive Summary
This document provides an analytical description of the interconnection method between IoT smart sensors andthe PANTHORA gateway, according to CHARIOT system security specifications and CHARIOT system architecture.An exhausted description of the hardware, software components and their functional interactions during secure data exchanging is included.
The report starts with descriptions on the PANTHORA gateway hardware capabilities and software functionality, in order to serve as a data meditator between IoT sensors and CHARIOT data engine to ensure swift and bone fide data exchange. The IoT sensors will be connected to the CHARIOT system via PANTHORA gateway, whose firmware was modified to be able to communicate with IoT sensors based on the security specifications set in CHARIOT's architecture. The PANTHORA gateway in turn communicates with the security and safety engine of CHARIOT system, so that each sensor can be identified towardsits firmware integrity and every sensor’s firmware can be upgraded through the CHARIOT system as well as to minimize the possibility of any malicious access or hacking in the IoT system’s sensors and/or devices.
