Abstract
The advent of both Cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT) is changing the way of conceiving information and communication systems. Generally, we talk about IoT Cloud to indicate a new type of distributed system consisting of a set of smart devices interconnected with a remote Cloud infrastructure, platform, or software through the Internet and able to provide IoT as a Service (IoTaaS). In this paper, we address such a challenging paradigm focusing on security in IoT Cloud Federation. In particular, we discuss several authentication schemes fitting different types of scenarios.
