The Backbone of IIoT: IPv.6
No matter what carriers are used in the physical layer of communications in the IIoT, there will need to be a robust, scalable, and universal addressing and communications backbone. Most implementers and experts agree that Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv.6) will be the backbone on which the IIoT will be built. ToDay's class will cover a quick overview of IPv.6 and its improvements and differences from the more familiar IPv.4 that is still the standard, particularly in embedded systems.

The #1 IIoT Challenge: Security
The greatest danger when we have literally billions of devices, most without human oversight, communicating critical data with one another is data security. Data theft, alteration, and denial of service will all be crucial potential weaknesses in the IIoT. In toDay's class we will look at the challenges and what has been done so far to address these, from node-level security to gateway security solutions.
