OpenDOF is an IOT Framework
The OpenDOF Project is an organization dedicated to the promotion of device networking technology for IoT–an IOT Framework.
The acronym DOF (Distributed Object Framework) refers to a technology that allows many different products, using many different standards, to work together and share information effortlessly across many different networks (e.g., LAN, WAN, Intranet, Internet—any type of network or mesh). At its core, DOF technology was designed to network embedded devices, whether simple or complex. However, to support advanced networking functions for those devices, DOF technology has also evolved into a server technology, appropriate for services that expand the functionality of networked devices, whether those services reside on your own physical servers, or you are taking advantage of advanced cloud technology, such as Amazon Web Services. Ultimately, DOF technology has the flexibility to enhance all products, from the simplest resource-constrained device to the most powerful of computer networks.

OpenDOF Build Instructions for C
To use CMake to build the project, create a directory where the component will be built, and from that directory run the following commands. (Each component will need a different directory.)
Basic Concepts of OpenDOF Security
DOF Security and the Authentication Server (AS)
As part of DOF security, an Authentication Server (AS) is used to authenticate the credentials of each component on a network. The AS centralizes security information, creating a shared trust environment—without exposing credentials—while allowing full access control. This means you have control over who (or which resources) has access and what levels of access they have. A single AS can also provide multiple security domains.
The Panasonic Distributed Testing Framework
The Panasonic Distributed Testing Framework enables automated testing across multiple software versions and network topologies.
Testing functionality and interoperability between many versions of software components can be daunting. Since the number of tests grows exponentially with each version, the challenge of creating adequate test plans may even discourage modularized software development. The Panasonic Distributed Testing Framework helps solve this problem by automating the task of generating and executing tests in a scalable way.
