> +Question:+
> FIWARE: authentication between IoT Agent and Context Broker
> +Description:+
> I've been tinkering with Fiware and trying to understand how to handle security. This diagram shows an example of using proxies to authenticate requests.
> But I don't see any authentication between the IoT Agent and the Context Broker. I would have guessed that the IoT Agent is intended to be a gateway device running on hardware physically located adjacant to the devices. But if that's the case with this setup then there's no authentication when making calls to the Context Broker.
> Is the IoT Agent only intended to be hosted in the cloud within the same network as the Context Broker? Or is there some way to insert a proxy between them that handles security?
