Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS):
- MEMS is a process technology used to create tiny integrated devices or systems that combine mechanical and electrical components.
- They can range in size from a few micrometers to several millimeters.
- The functional elements of MEMS are miniaturized structures, sensors, actuators, and microelectronics integrated into a single chip. Sensors gather information from the environment by measuring different phenomena. The microelectronics then process the information derived from the sensors and through some decision-making capability direct the actuators to respond by moving, positioning, regulating, pumping, and filtering, thereby controlling the environment for some desired outcome.
- Hence, by bringing together the computational capability of microelectronics with the perception and control capabilities of microminiaturized sensors and actuators, MEMS technologies are enabling smart systems on a chip to be mass-produced.
- Hence, Statement I is correct.
Security of Sensor Nodes:
- Security is a key feature when considering IoT deployment. Within the IoT system, data integrity and authenticity are major security concerns at the sensor node level.
- It’s challenging to integrate different applications as they have different authentication mechanisms to ensure data privacy and identity authentication.
- Hence, Statement II is incorrect.
