Description:

MQTT and COAP are very common light weight protocols for IoT development. One area that developers overlook during initial development is making it secure from day 1. This session will focus on a couple of approaches to make the interaction between the device and data collection server more secure and reliable using HTTPS based key exchange and signed MQTT packets. Paho is a light weight and easy to use library that handles most of the pub/sub, marshall/unmarshall, data transformation tasks. Second area that we focus is getting maximum data from the device that will help you with diagnostics in early stage of development. In addition to flask and paho, this session will touch upon sqlalchemy. Whole platform design will rely on micro-service architecture and hence the talk will introduce you to some components available in python, such as airflow.

Prerequisites:

  • Proficiency in python 2.7.x or 3.x
  • Basic know-how of a pub-sub model
  • Basic know-how of transport security, certificates, encryption, signing etc.
  • Basic knowledge of micro-service architecture
