Ruff: Using block chain technology to realize the standardization and security of Internet of things _ block chain

As the connection foundation between reality and Virtual world, IoT has been paid close attention to. Whether it is artificial intelligence revolution or block chain technology, the Internet of things will be the underlying architecture, providing valuable, available digital resources, but up to now, the internet of things still faces too many problems to be solved.

The first is the problem of fragmentation. From the day the Internet of things was born, it was fragmented. While the shared bicycles that are ubiquitous on the streets are networked, different types of bicycles require different mobile apps to open, and more than that, the networks that appear to be equally networked are disconnected and closed, with sensors, infra-red lights, smoke alarms, and coffee vending machines. As a result, the same types of products are fragmented, not to mention different types of products.

So the problem of fragmentation can be solved. The answer is yes. One way to address fragmentation is to introduce a unified operating system and middleware concepts, compatible with fragmented hardware devices, and provide a unified programming interface.

In addition to the problem of fragmentation, standardization has been a central issue that has plagued and hampered the wide spread of internet of things. It technology is standardized, the personal computer interacts with the server through the HTTP protocol, and it appears on the browser, which is a kind of standardization. The full network broadcast between the Bitcoin nodes is also standardized. In the standardization of this matter, the whole thing networking industry has tried for more than 20 years, in the physical layer standards have WiFi, BLE, ZigBee, industrial networks have Modbus, Profibus, industrial Ethernet, etc., although different standards are incompatible, but the application layer standards have not been implemented, equipment B and device B are connected successfully, but device A does not know any instructions for manipulating or requesting device B. More importantly, the same device, different drivers, different software vendors of the private protocols are not the same, difficult to interact.

Finally, there are many pain points in the large-scale and safe application of the Internet of things. First, chips, modules, equipment, network, platform, application, data, service and so on itself is a very long industrial chain, involved in hardware equipment technology and software services technology complex, market channels are not fully open, leading to slow value conduction; Secondly, the industry of various types of users, object objects, perceptual control equipment, The collaboration system between service platform, supervision platform, third party resource system and so on, the trust system and the value system are still imperfect, which leads to the difficulty of integrating the Internet of things into the industry. Finally, the centralized networking platform for manufacturers or service providers has the right to collect and analyze user data and control user devices without user authorization, Poses a major threat to user privacy and security.

So, based on fragmentation and standardization issues, Ruff offers a new solution, the Ruff OS, an object-networked operating system that abstracts hardware and invokes libraries to manipulate hardware. It uses a lot of JavaScript as a developer programming language, so that the same application code can also run on different boards, farewell to cross-compilation, burning writing board, PC can complete the test, one-click deployment of things networking applications. The problem of the fragmentation and standardization of the Internet of Things is solved in the application layer.

Second, the use of programming language for hardware development, so that the gap between hardware and software is eliminated. As of December 2017, 13,521 engineers have been registered in the Ruff community, and more than half of them have purchased the Ruff Development Board and deployed code.

On the security issue of the large-scale application of IoT, Ruff as a combination of IoT and block chain, which includes a distributed operating system and an open main chain, which extends the point-to-point network and consensus mechanism of the virtual world to the offline, and realizes the flow of information to promote the atomic flow.

In short, the distributed ledger based on the block chain can provide trust, ownership record, transparency and communication support for the Ruff platform's IoT applications. Secondly, Ruff will also develop the private chain based on the public chain and save the transaction information in an extremely safe way. The use of centralized server mobile phone and storage data of the Internet architecture can write information to the local ledger, and with other localized ledger synchronization, to ensure the security and uniqueness of the facts.

All internet transactions in the block chain will be added to the time stamp to ensure that future generations are available. At the same time, the digital protocol or intelligent contract of block chain can be applied to block chain data, implement commercial clauses in the communication of IoT, and guarantee the validity and safety of Internet of things in large-scale application. Finally, the block chain with high-end encryption technology can solve the ruff Internet public chain when used, to achieve the highest level of security standards.

Ruff was founded in 2014, with edge computing as the core, replacing the original embedded operating system, currently has tens of thousands of developers, is the industry's most common Internet of things operating system. Team members are from Nokia, Alipay, Intel and other well-known technology companies, but also includes 2017 Forbes China 30 30 years of the following elite members.

In the future, Ruff will be a new infrastructure platform based on the internet of things, which is characterized by being centralized, open, open source and efficient. In ecosystems, different participants can provide a substitute for the return of the currency, or consume tokens to acquire resources, and share each other to form an economy-driven self-governing body.
