II. Give the short answer to the following questions 10 Marks

1. What is IoT architecture

IoT architecture refers to the framework or structure that defines how IoT devices, networks,
platforms, and applications are organized and interconnected to enable communication,
data processing, and interaction within an IoT ecosystem. Here's a high-level overview of
typical IoT architecture:
1. Perception Layer: This layer comprises IoT devices equipped with sensors, actuators,
and communication modules. These devices collect data from the physical world, such
as temperature, humidity, motion, or location, and transmit it to the next layer for
processing.
2. Network Layer: The network layer handles the communication between IoT devices,
gateways, and the backend systems. It includes various wireless and wired
communication technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, LoRaWAN, cellular
networks, or satellite communication, depending on the range, bandwidth, and power

9 | Page
 requirements of the application.
3. Middleware Layer: The middleware layer acts as a bridge between the devices and the
application layer, providing services such as data normalization, protocol translation,
device management, security, and authentication. It ensures interoperability and
seamless communication between heterogeneous devices and platforms.
4. Application Layer: The application layer encompasses the software applications and
services that utilize IoT data to deliver specific functionalities and value-added services.
These applications may include real-time monitoring and control systems, data
analytics platforms, predictive maintenance solutions, asset tracking systems, smart
home automation, or industrial control systems.
5. Data Processing and Analytics: This component involves processing and analyzing
the data collected from IoT devices to extract meaningful insights, detect patterns, and
make data-driven decisions. It may include edge computing devices, cloud-based
analytics platforms, or hybrid architectures combining both edge and cloud processing
capabilities.
6. Security and Privacy: Security is a critical aspect of IoT architecture to protect against
cyber threats, unauthorized access, data breaches, and privacy violations. Security
measures may include encryption, authentication, access control, secure bootstrapping,
secure firmware updates, and intrusion detection systems implemented at various
layers of the architecture.

2. What are IoT challenges?

1. Scale:while the scale of IT networks can be large,the scale of OT can be several orders of
magnitude larger.For example,one large electrical utility in Asia recently began deploying IPV6-
based smart meters on its electrical grid.while this utility company has tens of thousands of
employees,the number of meters in the service area is tens of millions.This means the scale of
the network the utility is managing has increased by more than 1,000-fold.
2. Security: Security is a significant challenge in IoT due to the large number of connected
devices, diverse communication protocols, and data exchange across networks. Weak
authentication mechanisms, lack of encryption, and vulnerabilities in IoT devices can lead
10 | Page
 to security breaches, unauthorized access, data theft, and privacy violations.
3. Privacy:As sensors become more prolific in our everyday lives,much of the data they gather will
be specific to individuals and their activities.This data can range from health information to
shopping patterns and transactions at a retail establishment.
4. Big data and data analytics: IoT generates massive amounts of data from connected
devices, sensors, and systems, posing challenges related to data storage, processing,
analysis, and management. Efficient data handling techniques, edge computing, and
advanced analytics are needed to extract actionable insights, detect patterns, and derive
value from IoT data.
5. Interoperability: The lack of interoperability and common standards among IoT devices
and platforms hinders seamless communication and integration. Diverse communication
protocols, data formats, and vendor-specific implementations make it challenging to
develop interoperable solutions and scale IoT deployments across different ecosystems.
