directly work with it. There are various protocols like MQTT (MQ Telemetry Transport),CoAP
(Constrained Application Protocol), XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol) etc.,
which are used by providers to let entities authenticate themselves. In spite of these
standard authentication options, vendors are finding it difficult to implement them across all
the entities.
According to Quadrant Knowledge Solutions latest market outlook research Identity and
Access Management (IAM) Market Outlook Market Forecast, Trends, and Analysis Through
2020, growing adoption of IoT based smart devices are expected to transform the future of
IAM solutions. Traditional people-centric IAM system is transforming to include identities of
different entities including people, services and things within a single IAM framework. Since
IoT comprises of more than one type of entity, defining relationships among the entities is
critical: between a device and a human, a device to an application etc. Identity of Things
(IDoT), which has evolved as an extension of IAM, defines these relationships. IDoT
involves assigning unique identifiers to the IoT devices (things) with an ability to connect
and communicate with other entities (other devices, human, applications and services) over
the internet. IoT is seen as a critical pillar of identity management as the existing data and
planning policies of IAM vendors dont consider dynamic relationships between entities.
