A fog platform for secured IoT services

deployment and management of scalable, heterogeneous, and secure IoT services and cross-cloud applications (i.e microservices). RAINBOW falls within the bigger vision of delivering a platform enabling users to remotely control the infrastructure that is running, potentially, on hundreds of edge devices (e.g. wearables), thousands of fog nodes in a factory building, or flying in the sky (e.g. drones), and millions of vehicles traveling in a certain area or across Europe.

RAINBOW aspires to enable fog computing to reach its true potential by providing the deployment, orchestration, network fabric, and data management for scalable and secure edge applications, addressing the need to timely process the ever-increasing amount of data continuously gathered from heterogeneous IoT devices and appliances. Our solution will provide significant benefits for popular cloud platforms, fog middleware, and distributed data management engines, and will extend the open-source ecosystem by pushing intelligence to the network edge while also ensuring security and privacy primitives across the device-fog-cloud-application stack

To evaluate its wide applicability, RAINBOW will be demonstrated in the various real-world and demanding scenarios, such as automated manufacturing (Industry 4.0) connected vehicles and critical infrastructure surveillance with drones. These application areas are safety-critical and demanding; requiring guaranteed extra-functional properties, including real-time responsiveness, availability, data freshness, efficient data protection and management, energy efficiency and industry-specific security standards.
