The Internet of Things (IoT) technology has been applied to our daily life
infrastructure to make our lives easier and more comfortable. However, various
variations in the IoT reference architecture represent that the developers need to be
aware in order to implement the technology in a secure and accurate form. The
knowledge of these reference architectures is important as they provide the guidelines
for IoT developers and enterprises to develop high-quality IoT products. Requirements
such as security, data process, and privacy issues must always be concerned. The
reference architectures are used in the development of IoT products. This paper
discusses and explores IoT-related field topics ranging from IoT reference architecture
to policy to governance. Different kinds of variations in the reference architecture and
the IoT governance policy are discussed to ensure the integrity and security of
information transmitted across devices in the IoT ecosystem.
Keywords: Architecture, Governance, IoT, Policy.
