I Think IoT Therefore IM: Identity Management Freestyling at FreeIPA and Windmill

IoT identity and management revenues could reach $21.5 billion by 2022, according to a report from ABI Research, which says that IoT platform services, along with security, cryptography, digital certificate management, and data exchange will surge ahead even as multiple growth curves collide: more things, more cloud, more applications, more systems and above it all: more data. In the report, analyst Dimitrios Pavlakis explains that through smarter gateways, cloud services, and growth in APIs, identity and management services are “steadily finding their way in a wider spectrum of IoT verticals,” with IoT vendors and service providers starting to invest more in encryption and device certificate management.
