Question:
Secure communication between FIWARE orion and context-provider/IoT agent
Description:
I have to think about an architecture using FIWARE orion context-broker and several IoT agents/context-provider. In the documentation is a section describing how to securue the communication from an IoT agent/context-provider to orion. But how to secure the other sider?
What I understand, so far, is that a context-provider has to expose a REST endpoint (/op/query) on which it accepts incomming traffic. But how do it can make sure, that these request are valid?
In case of a subscription you can use httpCustom instead of http in the provider section, when you create a subscription. With this it is possible to use a static token which will be used by orion, when making request to the given url. This isn't possible for registration. Any suggestions how a context-provider/IoT agent can decide if an incoming request is a valid one?
