In a future world where everything is connected to everything (the so-called Internet of Things), new possibilities of creating novel solutions are on the horizon. However, not all challenges of this completely connected world have been resolved or addressed. One such unresolved challenge is that of identity and associated information of connected things. This report presents research conducted to analyse the feasibility of using the Handle System as a mechanism to create globally unique identities with meta-information in a globally connected world. Experimental results indicate the function and utility of the Handle System in an Internet of Things world.
