The development of IoT apps has changed the market in many fields such as industrialization, smart city, industrial automation, smart house and much more. Due to technological improvement and the cheap cost of the internet connectivity Internet of things application has been very widespread. Secure development technology (SDL) is a security system that has been included in IoT for allowing advanced security. IoT applications developed by IoT app development organizations are going to open a new door of financial growth in the time to come.
IoT apps Features
While developing the IoT apps it is very essential to take great care of the security, secrecy, connectivity, and compatibility of the IoT apps to give a smooth experience to the users.
Challenges
1. Protection of Data
As these IoT apps get a lot of data from the users, these should have the encryption abilities so that the data can remain secure in the application.
2. Authentication protocols
Cybercrime has been very prominent in this highly technological era and IoT applications become an easy target for those. The IoT apps should have an inbuilt authentication protocol between the encrypted devices to manage security.
3.Capacity and Latency
It has been noted that if the capacity of the IoT apps is improved, the latency of the IoT apps decreases. So, it is a challenge for the IoT app developers to manage a perfect balance between the latency and capacity of the IoT apps.
Some important consideration for app development
Readymade platform’s use
It is advisable to develop an IoT app using an existing platform as an existing platform has few reliable features such as authentication, encryption on a well-designed framework.
Secured hardware is in use
It is very important to get the sensors from the trusted vendors. The IoT developer should purchase from those vendors who can help in assuring user privacy with EPID technology.
Hire an Expert developer
It is very necessary to hire mobile app developers who have worked with various platforms and have the required experience. It is also important to describe the user base in a way that it can target the right audience.
Security system
Mobile app development companies are ensuring that a smart security system is enabled in the IoT application. This SDL allows things such as static/dynamic analysis, threat modeling, secure coding, Authentication to all IOT services has been made mandatory. Authentication deals in end-user communication, machine to machine communication. The system should have the features of updating of the user’s information during the lifespan of the product. Also, IoT should have an inbuilt encryption system that needs taking data from the customers and it runs the information by a mathematical formula so that only someone possessing the special key can unlock the data. A protected update mechanism should also be instilled which assures that a cryptographically signed update has been collected from the vendor to assure that the update has come from the same vendor.
Smart household
Using IoT applications, the rooms can be decorated with different lighting. The light can be set or the temperature of the room can be controlled using the IoT application.
Conclusion
Developing an IoT application for smart home devices will modify our way of living. You will be habituated to a thoughtful life as the responsibility of turning off the device, cooking in low heat, maintaining the speed of the car will be taken care of by these automated devices. You will be able to utilize your time and be thoughtful in your activities that you can run parallelly.
