Question:
FIWARE: authentication between IoT Agent and Context Broker
Description:
I've been tinkering with Fiware and trying to understand how to handle security. This diagram shows an example of using proxies to authenticate requests.
But I don't see any authentication between the IoT Agent and the Context Broker. I would have guessed that the IoT Agent is intended to be a gateway device running on hardware physically located adjacant to the devices. But if that's the case with this setup then there's no authentication when making calls to the Context Broker.
Is the IoT Agent only intended to be hosted in the cloud within the same network as the Context Broker? Or is there some way to insert a proxy between them that handles security?
