Abstract

IoT context-sharing platforms are an essential component of today's interconnected IoT deployments with their security affecting the entire deployment and the critical infrastructure adopting IoT. We report on a lack of systematic approach to the security of IoT context-sharing platforms and propose the need for a methodological and systematic alternative to evaluate the existing solutions and develop `secure-by-design' solutions. We have identified the key components of a generic IoT context-sharing platform and propose using MITRE ATT&CK for threat modelling of such platforms.
