MONNIT Sensor Prints IoT Data Authentication Software
MONNIT Sensor Prints IoT Data Authentication Software is IoT data authentication software designed to help protect data transmitted by Monnit low-power wireless sensors. SensorPrints creates a unique authentication fingerprint for each sensor and uses 256-bit SHA3 authentication to verify sensor messages from generation through to the application. The software integrates with iMonnit and can also support open sensor data through the Monnit MINE platform.
The MONNIT Sensor Prints IoT Data Authentication Software is software for authenticating data generated by Monnit wireless sensors. It is designed for IoT environments where verifying the origin and integrity of sensor data is important.
SensorPrints works between the sensor and the application receiving the data. It creates an authentication fingerprint for an individual Monnit wireless sensor, with the authenticated sensor message transmitted together with an authentication token. The receiving application evaluates the token using a cryptographic hash function and the unique secret key assigned to that sensor.
How it works
- SensorPrints generates a unique authentication fingerprint for each supported Monnit wireless sensor.
- Sensor data is transmitted with an authentication token.
- The receiving application evaluates the token using a cryptographic hash function and the sensor's unique secret key.
- This allows the application layer to verify that the data originated from the expected sensor.
- SensorPrints integrates natively with iMonnit and can also work with open sensor data through the Monnit MINE platform.
Why choose this product?
- Adds an authentication layer to Monnit wireless sensor data.
- Helps establish trust between the sensor and receiving application.
- Uses 256-bit SHA3 authentication, as specified by Monnit.
- Provides a practical option for deployments requiring authenticated IoT sensor data.
- Supports integration with Monnit's software ecosystem and, through MINE, can support aggregators and proprietary IoT platforms.
Benefits
MONNIT Sensor Prints IoT Data Authentication Software is particularly useful where sensor data needs to be authenticated before it is accepted by an application or monitoring system. By associating authentication with individual sensors, it provides a method for verifying source-generated data rather than relying only on the communication path.
The software can be used with Monnit's IoT ecosystem and is designed to support applications ranging from standard iMonnit deployments to systems using open sensor data and external IoT platforms.
