IoT Simulator 2.0 Release

by Jebason J | Mar 1, 2019 | Announcement, iot simulator, MQTT Client, MQTT security, MQTT simulation

Security is one of the major concerns of the IoT Manager applications. Keeping this in mind, we built the manager applications with different level of security. IoT Network Simulator is enhanced to support all manager applications based on their security practices. Similar to the previous version, the simulator supports all its options from the user interface itself.

IoT Network simulator for AWS IoT core / Azure IoT hub

The User interface will provide options based on the IoT applications. For example Azure IoT hub supports SAS Token and Certificate based authentication. Users will be able to create a specific network for the Azure IoT core and able to create devices that handshakes with the IoT hub based on the details specified when configuring the device. Similarly, this is possible for the AWS IOT as well.

Simulating IoT Network for Other Manager applications

For all other manager applications like Bevywise IoT Platform, Losant , and others, you will be able to specify a single certificate at the common settings page and get your devices connected to the manager application.

Device-level SSL Security

Azure IoT / AWS IoT manages every device to have a unique certificate. In addition, the IoT Network simulator supports the configuration of the root Certificate in the settings window and ensures that you specify each and every client certificate in the device configuration screen. The WILL, QoS, retain event messages and command messages configuration is the same as before.

Individual Device IP Address

The simulator runs on a single machine and simulates all its devices. But, The manager will be seeing all the devices from one Host (IP Address). This contradicts the real-time Simulation. In order to overcome this, the 2.0 version has added support for using Virtual IP Addresses. By this functionality, each simulated device will connect to the manager application from a different host Address.

Bevywise IoT Gateway – Security, Bridging & more

by Ranjith Kumar DSM | Jul 4, 2017 | iot platform, MQTT Broker, MQTTRoute

The IoT Gateway that comes inbuilt inside the MQTT Broker is enhanced to be secure and inter operable with other platforms.

Secure your devices:

IoT mandates central platform to connect every device and sensors for sending and receiving messages. Besides that The IoT Gateway isolates the devices behind the firewall to get isolate from the internet. The gateway acts as an intermediate devices to transfer messages between the edge devices and platform. We do support aggregation of messages and transparent transfer of messages.

Works with Any IoT Platform:

As the communication between the IoT Gateway and the central platform is via MQTT, the IoT Gateway can work with any platform like Azure Iot , AWS IoT , Google Cloud IoT Platform and more that listens and accepts MQTT connections.

Support for Devices & Bridging:

This version add support for accepting MQTT Devices in addition to previously supported sensors. The devices can connect via MQTT protocol to the gateway. This helps the IoT Gateway to act as a bridge for the local MQTT devices.

Bluetooth support for Sensors:

We have added support for the Bluetooth connectivity for the sensor devices. You can now connect your edge sensors to the IoT Gateway via Bluetooth.

Data Encryption:

We are more concerned about the security of the data that is being transferred at all times. We support the SSL encryption for all the data sent over the network from the edge devices to gateway to the IoT Platform. You can use your own certificates by doing the necessary configuration to enable the secure communication.

The gateway can run on the Raspberry Pi and can be customized to store data locally and a User interface to manage local devices. In addition, the IoT Gateway can run on Windows, Linux, and Mac.
