Security and Privacy in the Internet of Things

Provides the authoritative and up-to-date information required for securing IoT architecture and applications 

The vast amount of data generated by the Internet of Things (IoT) has made information security vital for not only personal privacy, but also for the sustainability of the IoT itself. Security and Privacy in the Internet of Things brings together high-quality research on IoT information security models, architectures, techniques, and application domains. This concise yet comprehensive volume explores state-of-the-art mitigations in IoT security while addressing important privacy challenges across different IoT layers. 

Divided into three parts, the book provides timely coverage of IoT architecture, security technologies and mechanisms, and applications. The authors outline emerging trends in IoT security and privacy with a focus on areas such as smart homes and cities, e-health, critical infrastructure, and industrial applications. Topics include authentication and access control, the use of blockchains for IoT transactions, attack detection and prevention, energy-efficient management of IoT objects, and secure integration of IoT and Cloud computing. Presenting the current body of knowledge in a single volume, Security and Privacy in the Internet of Things:  

• Discusses a broad range of IoT architectures and applications 
• Covers both the logical and physical security of IoT devices 
• Examines IoT security and privacy standards, protocols, and approaches 
• Addresses the secure integration of IoT and social networks 
• Describes privacy preserving techniques, intrusion detection systems, and threat and vulnerability analyses 

Security and Privacy in the Internet of Things: Architectures, Techniques, and Applications is essential reading for researchers, industry practitioners, and students involved in IoT development and deployment.
