Abstract

The design and development process for internet of things (IoT) applications is more complicated than that for desktop, mobile, or web applications. First, IoT applications require both software and hardware to work together across many different types of nodes with different capabilities under different conditions. Second, IoT application development involves different types of software engineers such as desktop, web, embedded, and mobile to work together. Furthermore, non-software engineering personnel such as business analysts are also involved in the design process. In addition to the complexity of having multiple software engineering specialists cooperating to merge different hardware and software components together, the development process requires different software and hardware stacks to be integrated together (e.g., different stacks from different companies such as Microsoft Azure and IBM Bluemix). Due to the above complexities, non-functional requirements (such as security and privacy, which are highly important in the context of the IoT) tend to be ignored or treated as though they are less important in the IoT application development process. This article reviews techniques, methods, and tools to support security and privacy requirements in existing non-IoT application designs, enabling their use and integration into IoT applications. This article primarily focuses on design notations, models, and languages that facilitate capturing non-functional requirements (i.e., security and privacy). Our goal is not only to analyse, compare, and consolidate the empirical research but also to appreciate their findings and discuss their applicability for the IoT.
物联网的安全与隐私需求
物联网(IoT)应用程序的设计和开发过程比桌面、移动或web应用程序更复杂。首先,物联网应用需要软件和硬件在不同条件下跨具有不同功能的许多不同类型的节点协同工作。其次,物联网应用程序的开发涉及不同类型的软件工程师,如桌面、web、嵌入式和移动,以协同工作。此外,像业务分析师这样的非软件工程人员也参与到设计过程中。除了让多个软件工程专家合作将不同的硬件和软件组件合并在一起的复杂性之外,开发过程还需要将不同的软件和硬件堆栈集成在一起(例如,来自不同公司的不同堆栈,例如Microsoft Azure和IBM Bluemix)。由于上述复杂性,非功能需求(例如在物联网环境中非常重要的安全性和隐私性)往往被忽略或视为在物联网应用程序开发过程中不那么重要。本文回顾了支持现有非物联网应用设计中的安全和隐私需求的技术、方法和工具,使其能够使用并集成到物联网应用中。本文主要关注有助于捕获非功能需求(即安全性和隐私性)的设计符号、模型和语言。我们的目标不仅是分析、比较和巩固实证研究,而且还要欣赏他们的发现并讨论他们对物联网的适用性。
