Description 

IOT Devices are nearly always connected via a connection to the vendor's cloud service. An Indy Agent based device would provide a demonstration of how IOT devices can align with user-centric privacy and control principles. ESP32 and ESP8266 devices are common and affordable, and are commonly used as a foundation of IOT Devices both in industry and hobby projects. This project will demonstrate both data collection via sensors and display via actuators, lights, and other devices.

Additional Information

Agent Messaging is based on functions found in TweetNacl, available on the Arduino platform.

Learning Objectives

Building Crypto based software on the constrained environment of a microcontroller, Agent Messaging, Thin Indy Agents. Exploring user interaction applications.

Expected Outcome

Demonstration of connected Indy IOT Agent, open source code example, and complete hardware instructions to replicate the project.

Relation to Hyperledger 

Hyperledger Indy

Education Level

Undergraduate

Skills
