Secure data collection with the open source OpenDOF technology

The OpenDOF Project is an open-source solution to device, gateway, and cloud communications that includes a standardized object model and secure communication. The project was incubated for 10 years inside of Panasonic, and released as an open-source project in March of 2015.
In addition to secure bi-directional command and control, the platform includes libraries and SDKs for data collection. These libraries can be easily included in IoT projects, either using existing back-end datastores or cloud solutions such as MongoDB or AWS DynamoDB. There is no payment required to use the libraries.
Participants in the tutorial will receive a full set of SDKs (open source, freely available) and will use their laptop to create a data-gathering solution in addition to adding secure command-and-control. The tutorial is built for participants to follow along on their own laptop using a virtual machine image that will be provided. Laptops should have sufficient free resources to run a virtual machine.
Participants with access to infrastructure (for example, an AWS account) can deploy their solution to their cloud. Otherwise, participants will leverage local, tutorial-only systems provided.
The tutorial will include:
⚫ Introduction to the object model and security model.
⚫ Creating a local sample device using Java or C.
⚫ Using developer tools to communicate with their sample device.
⚫ Adding data collection and submission to a local data sink.
⚫ Submitting data to a cloud server.
⚫ Storing their data into back-end storage.
Participants will leave with everything they need to use the technology in their own projects and infrastructure.

• Participants would understand the OpenDOF Project solution to secure device to cloud data gathering.
