This paper deals with the automatic configuration\&nbsp;of IoT devices in a secure way through the Cloud, in order\&nbsp;to provide new added-value services. After a discussion on the\&nbsp;limits of current IoT and Cloud solutions in terms of secure selfconfiguration,\&nbsp;we present a Cloud-based architecture that allows\&nbsp;IoT devices to interact with several federated Cloud providers.\&nbsp;In particular, we present two possible scenarios, i.e., single Cloud\&nbsp;and a federated Cloud environments interacting with IoT devices\&nbsp;and we address specific issues of both. Moreover, we present\&nbsp;several design highlights on how to operate considering real open\&nbsp;hardware and software products already available in the market.</p>
