Summary/Abstract: The Internet of Things is a global infrastructure of smart electronic devices embedded with sensors with the purpose of collecting, processing, exchanging and delivering data. One of the main requirements of the IoT is that all the connected objects are available at any time. Since the complexity of this network constantly grows, security and privacy are vital for its development. The focus of this paper is on discussing a framework that leverages trust, authentication, encryption and integrity of data, by using a Public Key Infrastructure adapted to the IoT needs.
