Nevertheless, this diverse ecosystem of platforms and protocols, along with the inherent limitations in processing power, energy, memory and communications bandwidth for some of the involved devices, render secure and interoperable interactions a primary concern, and an important obstacle to the introduction of novel applications, and the adoption of IoT in general. Motivated by the above, this work presents SeMIBIoT, a Secure Multi-protocol Integration Bridge for the IoT. Acting as a gateway, SeMIBIoT is able to provide hop-by-hop or end-to-end secure communications between an array of heterogeneous nodes and standardized IoT protocols, guaranteeing seamless interactions and thus alleviating security and interoperability concerns. Using a realistic testbed featuring a number of diverse platforms, the bridge is evaluated in a variety of scenarios, validating the feasibility of the proposed approach.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/IEEE International Conference on Communications Palavras Emmanouil Παλαβρας Εμμανουηλ Fysarakis Konstantinos Φυσαρακης Κωνσταντινος Papaefstathiou Ioannis Παπαευσταθιου Ιωαννης Askoxylakis, Ioannis Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers CoAP MQTT Secure communication Security WSN Wireless Sensor Networks XMPP Internet of Things IoT
