Communication Protocol
The CloudCommand Protocol (CC_P) is rapidly extensible to allow for CloudCommand to control a large variety of networking devices, from routers, wireless access points and switches to networked end-nodes such as smart-energy meters, surveillance cameras, refrigerators, TVs and even parking meters.
Focusing on addressing the security and reliability challenges of cloud virtualized computing, CC_P is secured via TLS asymmetric cryptography for privacy and a keyed message authentication code for reliability, leveraging 802.1x based authentication. It also utilizes a collaborative closed-loop mechanism to guarantee the consistency of its payload delivery process. This ensures a resilient and secure method for dependably controlling devices from the cloud without affecting the integrity of the host network.
- Secure: It leverages TLS crypto + 802.1x authentication.
- Thin: Almost insignificant amount of bandwidth is required.
- Reliable: CC_P utilizes a closed-loop command and control mechanism.
- Adaptive: It easily accommodates the requirements necessary to control different classes of devices.
- Resilient: CC_P provides effective and secure communication into complex LAN environments.
