COSMOS handles the communication of devices such as sensors and nodes or personal computer of TALA empathic space, so that resources can be easily shared to different nodes. Efforts in improving the protocol are being made. One is HYDRA, which handles the storage, and another is ADHARA, which provides live streaming. While these studies have greatly advanced research field, they do not provide security mechanism to protect the system. Even in such a private space like TALA, the system can be vulnerable to both accidental and malicious insider threats. This is why SIRIUS will be another sub protocol that will serve as the first line of defense against these insider threats. This is done by implementing authentication and authorization of nodes and users connecting to the network.
