ABSTRACT: IoT applications are promising for future daily activities; therefore, the number
of IoT connected devices is expected to reach billions in the coming few years.
However, IoT has different application frameworks. Furthermore, IoT
applications require higher security standards. In this work, an IoT
application framework is presented with a security embedded structure using the
integration between message queue telemetry transport (MQTT) and user-managed access (UMA). The
performance analysis of the model is presented. Comparing the model with existing
models and different design structures shows that the model presented in this
work is promising for a functioning IoT design model with security. The
security in the model is a built-in feature in its structure. The model is
built on recommended frameworks; therefore, it is ready for integration with
other web standards for data sharing, which will help in making IoT applications integrated from different
developing parties.
