Approach The IEC MSB decided to write a paper on Smart and Secure IoT Platform To have a holistic view on the topic, several academic and industry partners as well as a government authority joined the project The MSB requested a forward looking paper, which first required assessing the state of IoT today as well as identifying its limitations and deficiencies The expertise of the involved partners created the forward looking part of the paper based on these limits and deficiencies as well as ten partner use cases The result is identification of the capabilities of a Smart and Secure IoT Platform and the required next-generation enabling technologies, as well as requisite standardization needs Contributors

The Internet of Things (IoT) and associated business models are still immature Through 2020, 80% of all IoT projects will fail at the implementation stage 1 Thus the major transformation the world will face from IoT is still to come! The paper gives an outlook of what the next big step in IoT could be the Smart & Secure IoT Platform: Platform of platforms concept bridging the gaps between different existing legacy platforms not designed for IoT Advanced connectivity and device management capabilities that can handle huge volumes of devices Sophisticated sensing, processing and analytics to provide real insight and action End-to-end security and safety concept from device to application ensuring trust, privacy and identity management Bringing the ambitious IoT visions to life will require significant efforts in standardization A desired future IoT standardization ecosystem environment to address those needs is suggested in the paper Key recommendations to IEC Take the lead in establishing an IoT standardization ecosystem environment Task the ISO/IEC JTC1 Leadership for various IoT standardization activities Work more closely with government entities to increase level of participation and identification of requirements so that IEC deliverables address their concerns 1 Source: Gartner, Inc, Infrastructure and Operations Leaders: Prepare for the IoT Rush, 2016

The interplay of the three domains platform, edge and device within a system and between systems is key to the Smart & Secure IoT Platform Capabilities and future technologies related to connectivity, processing, memory, sensing, actions and most importantly security of more and more flexible and vulnerable systems have been considered and analyzed in the paper
Use cases Future IoT use cases covering three different application domains industry, public sector, and customer One use case per domain covered in main document: Industrial domain: Business Continuity Management for Production Lines Public domain: Smart Cities Customer domain: Improved Journey Experience in Public Transport for Passengers with Special Needs Seven more use cases covered in appendix of the document Capabilities and requirements for Smart and Secure IoT Platforms Capabilities and requirements are derived from the use cases related to Connectivity (example s. below) Processing Interoperability Memory Sensing Actions Security

Current standardization environment provides challenges to optimizing IoT There are opportunities to create a more positive standardization ecosystem that supports the needs of governments, private sector, and users: Horizontal standardization International standards should be the preferred approach for standards activities that cross domains, geopolitical boundaries, functionalities, and requirements done at the international level Vertical and specialty standards Standards that are domain specific or geopolitical should come from relevant organizations. Wherever possible they should draw on higher-level horizontal standards Requirements Horizontal requirements definition organizations such as IIC play a key role
Recommendations to the IEC and its Committees General recommendations All standards bodies, consortia, geopolitical entities and others involved in IoT should adopt the future IoT Standardization Ecosystem Environment look for opportunities to increase cooperation and collaboration Governments should increase funding support for unrestricted research into the various technology requirements identified ITU, IEEE, and 3GPP should take the lead in pushing 5G finalization and deployment until 2018 Governments and private sector should come together to create a joint cooperative security framework IEC is in a unique position to drive the IoT forward and help make the Smart and Secure IoT Platform a reality. Accordingly, the IEC should take the following actions: Take the lead in establishing the IoT standardization ecosystem environment Task the ISO/IEC JTC1 Leadership for various IoT standardization activities Work more closely with government entities to increase level of participation and identification of requirements so that IEC deliverables address their concerns
