Internet of Things (IoT) platforms are the key for the development of scalable IoT\napplications and services that connect real and virtual worlds between objects, systems, and people.\nHowever, as the IoT platform market represents a truly new market segment that was almost\nnon-existent a few years ago, the platforms are complex and changing quickly. These IoT platforms\nperform simple functions such as providing useful information, and others can provide services\nthrough collaborations with IoT devices. This situation needs a generic service interface, and results in\na range of IoT architectures through not only the configuration setting of IoT devices and resources but\nalso the varied environments of collaboration of each device. Due to these heterogeneities, it is quite\nchallenging to develop applications working with diverse IoT services, and it is even more difficult\nto maintain such applications. Therefore, this paper presents a security generic service interface\nwith the effective common characteristics of an IoT platform by defining a set of generic interfaces\nand adopting well-known design patterns. The generic interface solves the heterogeneity-driven\nproblems and makes it possible to effectively adopt a platform-independent Generic Interface that\ncould be operated in diverse IoT platforms.
