Abstract

The Internet of Things era brings many security challenges because, from the moment when a device is connected to the Internet, it is susceptible to cyberattacks. This project aims to analyze a cybersecurity system for long-distance communication systems using LoRaWAN and MQTT technologies. A test environment will be created consisting of a prototype of a sensor network and a server, based on InterSCity platform. The security tests will be conducted to verify the security mechanisms provided by the system. It is also intended to propose improved end-to-end security mechanisms. (AU)
