Implementation of an access control protocol in an IoT environment

Abstract

This final-year project explores the implementation of access control in industrial environments where IoT objects are used to operate and monitor machines. The approach adopted for this system is based on decentralised access control. This is guaranteed by the use of an attribute based cryptographic system, represented by the MA-ABE approach (Multi-Authority Attribute Based Encryption). The result is a platform that enables an organisation’s authorities to control user access to I
