CoMPES: A Command Messaging Service for IoT Policy Enforcement in a Heterogeneous Network

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we present a scalable and adaptive model which efficiently and quickly enforces control schemas for the Internet of Things (IoT) via a novel command messaging service. This is achieved by utilizing the n-tier scalability of the cloud to generate vast networks of virtual machines. Within each of these virtual machines exists a cluster of "compute pages". Each cluster of compute pages contains an instance of our policy enforcement algorithm. This algorithm processes device-level telemetry into device-level policies. Our proposed model is built with a particular focus on the efficiency and scalability of the service. We demonstrate the performance of the service with a small-scale real world experiment and provide some analysis of the results.
