AllSeen Gateway Agent
• Embedded application for connecting local AllJoyn
devices and applications to external services
– Cloud / remote services
– Also provides a gateway to other IOT protocols
– Plug-in connector architecture – supports multiple interfaces
– Supports persistent remote connections without special firewall
or port settings
• Ideal for automation hubs, routers or any “always on”
device in the local network

6. 26 February 2015 AllSeen Alliance 6
Data Minimization and Security
• Filters LAN AllJoyn traffic from remote traffic – only traffic
needed for the user’s cloud or remote services are
passed
• Connector Plug-ins with Remote Service Profiles – configure
what data/traffic is routed externally
– Enhances the user’s privacy and security
– Enables managed service privacy policies
– Improves scaling performance – minimizing external loading
• Extends AllJoyn’s end to end security model to external
services
• The Gateway Agent also can support Connector plug-ins to
other PAN protocols with AllJoyn (6LowPAN, ZigBee, etc.)

Consumer Mode Operation
• User self-manages
their AllJoyn
connections to external
services
• Services provisioned
via a mobile app with
