2.1 Introduction

The IoT has revolutionized and surprised the world by widespread practical applications in multiple fields, such as wearables to health monitoring, traffic management to fleet monitoring, smart homes to smart cities, smart agricultures to manufacturing and industrial plants, smart grids to maintenance management, etc. [1]. It is an emerging model that provides connectivity, intelligence, and identity with scalability the Internet in order to facilitate our lives [2]. It empowers collaboration from anywhere; becomes an important aspect of life that can support and facilitates devices and users. IoT is an invention that puts together wide variety of technologies, frameworks, intelligent devices sensors, and IPv6. Moreover, it takes advantage of data processing at network edges or remote server, quantum and nanotechnology in terms of storage, green computing in terms of environment, processing speed in terms of 5G; which were not conceivable earlier [3]. The IoT is not only dedicated to connect remote devices to achieve flawless functioning and simplify operations but also act as enabler and integrators to build applications, collect data remotely, connect securely, and manage devices. It also helps to overcome many challenges, through increased capacity, greater intelligence, ...
