Nowadays, the combination between Cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT) is pursuing new levels of efficiency in delivering services, representing a tempting business opportunity for ICT operators of increasing their revenues. However, security is seen as one of the major factors that slows down the rapid and large scale adoption and deployment of both the IoT and Cloud computing.\ 
In this paper, considering such an IoT Cloud scenario, we present an authentication model that allow IoT devices to join IoT Clouds and users to access the system. Moreover, we discuss the issues involved in applying our authentication models in a real IoT Cloud based on the FIWARE technology.

The secure boot up and setup of Internet of Things\ (IoT) devices connected over the Cloud represents a challenging open issue. This paper deals with the automatic configuration\ of IoT devices in a secure way through the Cloud, in order\ to provide new added-value services. After a discussion on the\ limits of current IoT and Cloud solutions in terms of secure selfconfiguration,\ we present a Cloud-based architecture that allows\ IoT devices to interact with several federated Cloud providers.\ In particular, we present two possible scenarios, i.e., single Cloud\ and a federated Cloud environments interacting with IoT devices\ and we address specific issues of both. Moreover, we present\ several design highlights on how to operate considering real open\ hardware and software products already available in the market.
