M-Sec IoT Infrastructure
M-SEC IOT
INFRASTRUCTURE
One of the expected results of M-Sec is to have distributed, robust and trusted smart city platforms, based on IoT, cloud, Big Data and blockchain technologies, that empower IoT stakeholders to develop, deploy and operate novel multipurpose IoT applications for smart cities on top of smart objects.
The specific infrastructure paradigm is being piloted in real-life smart city contexts in Santander (Spain) and Fujisawa (Japan) cities through 5 Use Cases.
Take a closer look at the research conducted and the activities held in order to achieve this project result.
How will M-Sec achieve this result
M-Sec IoT Infrastructure result will be achieved through 4 main activities:
With a simplified view of M-Sec’s multilayered architecture, the project will be able to easily explain and present its approach to a broader technical and non-technical audience
M-Sec intends to organize a series of community webinars to better explain each layer of the M-Sec’s architecture to a broader audience, both from the industry and the academia, as well as to the common citizen
The M-Sec architecture will be piloted in a real-life environment, through a set of 5 Use Cases in Santander (Spain) and Fujisawa (Japan) cities
The status of the implementation of M-Sec Use Cases will be monitored by the project and main achievements and results will be disseminated to a broader audience, through a series of blogposts and videos

sensiNact Studio
SensiNact is designed to allow platforms to interoperate, thus coexist and benefit from the richness of the variety. Additionally, it provides a fine grained security mechanism to allow access to services by only authenticated and authorized entities

Blockchain middleware
engine/tool
Management Engine (T&RM Engine) is a tool working on top of the M-Sec
blockchain/Marketplace and in parallel with the corresponding
middleware so as to provide a ranking system assessing the
reliability, trustworthiness and reputation of resources providers
within the MSec ecosystem.

TPM, is added to the physical platform, It is used to store any
sensitive information that shall be protected from people having
physical Access to the electronics, such as IoT devices and gateways.
The secure element handles the integrity of the device during the
boot process and also handles the authentication and encryption for
external communication channels.
Detection System

monitoring, thereby providing multi-layered security against policy
violations and cyber attacks, along with security health-checks
IoT application use cases such as smart cities, personal information
is often a problem. GANonymizer is a technology that automatically
deletes personal information contained in such videos using AI
technology.

and therefore digital trust. It is designed to support several
security functionalities aggregated in a single backend using the
LDAP standard. The central element for the security manager is a
directory service containing all information to manage security
services for clients, such services known as AAA for Authentication,
Accounting and Authorization.
where the components are organized in horizontal layers. This is the
traditional method for designing most software and is meant to be
self-independent. This means that all the components are
interconnected but do not depend on each other.
whole framework that provides a set of functionalities based on the combination of other components.
introduce the functional group component. A component is an self-contained software which can
communicate with other components. In this representation a component can also represent a set of components. We are not representing interfaces and connectors.

Use Case 4 · Secure Affective Participatory Sensing of City Events (Fujisawa & Santander)
Overall description Use Case 4 explores the possibility of secure sharing on citizens’ affective information and information on the city. In the city, there are many different events occurring every day. As a means of detecting/sensing such occurring, participatory sensing solutions that let people (citizens and possibly additional visitors) report such events, from their own […]
Use Case 2 · Home Monitoring Security System for Ageing People (Santander, Spain)
Overall description Worldline proposes Senior Care for Use Case 2, an IoT platform that allows tele-assistance companies to digitalize their current services by using an innovative and secure platform to monitor the well-being of ageing network tele-assistance users, guaranteeing security and integrity of all the activity data collected from the home sensors deployed in an […]
Use Case 1 · Secured IoT devices to enrich strolls across smart city parks (Santander, Spain)
Overall description This pilot focuses on deploying IoT devices offering environmental information such as temperature, humidity, CO2 and Volatile Organic Compounds, as well as an estimated measurement of the number of visitors in the Las Llamas park (Santander, north of Spain). This kind of information is significant to the well-being of the city’s inhabitants. Challenges […]
Use Case 3 · Secure and Trustworthy Mobile Sensing Platform (Fujisawa, Japan)
Overall description Use Case 3 is a pilot that builds a secure IoT platform for smart cities by integrating the multi-layer security assets of M-Sec partners based on the Keio mobile sensing platform that has been conducting demonstration experiments with Fujisawa City for more than 3 years. Challenges it addresses Use Case 3 has focused […]
Use Case 5 · Smart City Data Marketplace with Secure Multi-Layer Technologies
Overall description This pilot is a cross border trial, which will be implemented in Santander and Fujisawa. The M-Sec data marketplace is set up for citizens, companies, and municipalities to trade data collected in other use cases and valuable datasets on the internet to distribute data by ensuring Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability, and Privacy of data […]
