10. Azure IoT Hub | Features
©RapidValue Solutions 10
Scale
Scales to millions of simultaneously
connected devices and millions of events
per second.
Device provisioning
Enables zero-touch, just-in-time device provisioning
to the right IoT hub without requiring human
intervention, enabling you to provision millions of
devices in a secure and scalable manner.
Device twins
Using Device twins, you can store, synchronize,
and query device metadata and state information
for each device that you connect to IoT Hub
Per-device authentication
Provision each device with its own security
key to enable it to connect to IoT Hub. The
IoT Hub identity registry stores device
identities and keys in a solution.
Rule Based D2C Message Routing
Route device-to-cloud messages to Azure services
based on declarative rules
Business Application Integration
IoT Hub integrates with Azure Event Grid. Use this
integration to configure other Azure services or
third-party applications to listen for IoT Hub
events.
IoT protocols & Device Library
Supports MQTT v3.1.1, HTTPS 1.1, or AMQP
1.0 protocols. s. Azure IoT device SDKs are
available and supported for Windows &
managed languages, such as C#, Java, & JS
Secure Bi-Direction Device-Cloud
Communication
The communication path between devices and
Azure IoT Hub is secured using industry-standard
Transport Layer Security (TLS) .
Firmware Update
Ability to do device firmware update using device
management services.
Schedule & Broadcast Jobs
Device management offers ability to
schedule or broadcast jobs on a subset of
devices.
File Upload from Device
Manage file upload from device to cloud.
Device Direct Methods
Ability to invoke direct device methods from cloud
back end app.

11. Security Features | Azure IoT Solution
©RapidValue Solutions 11
• Unique Identity key (security tokens) for each
Device or on device X.509 Certificates
• Devices do not accept unsolicited network
connections
• All connections and routes in an outbound-
only fashion
• Devices only connect to or establish routes to
well-known services with which they are
peered, such as an Azure IoT Hub
• For a device to receive a command from the
backend, the device must initiate a
connection to check for any pending
commands to process.
• The communication path between devices
and Azure IoT Hub is secured using
industry-standard Transport Layer Security
(TLS).
• In order to protect devices from unsolicited
inbound connections, Azure IoT Hub does
not open any connection to the device. The
device initiates all connections.
• Azure IoT Hub durably stores messages for
devices and waits for the device to
connect.
• Using Azure Active Directory (AAD) for user
authentication and authorization, Azure IoT
Suite can provide a policy-based authorization
model for data in the cloud, enabling easy
access management that can be audited and
reviewed.
• Secure Device Provisioning
• Encryption of Data in DB
• Tokenized authentication for devices
• Database firewalls for additional security
