    The increasing deployment of sensor networks, ranging from home networks
    to industrial automation, leads to a similarly growing demand for
    storing and processing the collected sensor data. To satisfy this
    demand, the most promising approach to date is the utilization of the dynamically scalable, on-demand resources made available via the cloud computing paradigm. However, prevalent security and privacy concerns are
    a huge obstacle for the outsourcing of sensor data to the cloud. Hence,
    sensor data needs to be secured properly before it can be outsourced to
    the cloud.
    When securing the outsourcing of sensor data to the cloud, one important challenge lies in the representation of sensor data and the choice of
    security measures applied to it. In this paper, we present the
    SensorCloud protocol, which enables the representation of sensor data
    and actuator commands using JSON as well as the encoding of the object
    security mechanisms applied to a given sensor data item. Notably, we
    solely utilize mechanisms that have been or currently are in the process
    of being standardized at the IETF to aid the wide applicability of our approach.
