IoT Security

Preface

The Internet of things (IoT) is the network of physical devices such as vehicles, home appliances sensors, actuators and other electronic devices. The development of the Internet offers the possibility for these objects to connect and exchange data. Since the IoT will play a major role in human life, it is important to secure the IoT ecosystem in order for its value to be realized. Among the various security requirements, authentication to the IoT is important as it is the first step in prevention of any negative impact of possible attackers.

This book provides reference material on authentication in IoT. It offers an insight into the development of various authentication mechanisms to provide IoT authentication across various levels such as user level, device level and network level. This book offers reference material which will be important for all relative stakeholders of mobile networks, for example, network operators, cloud operators, IoT device manufacturers, IoT device users, wireless users, IoT standardization organizations and security solution developers.

IoT

Over the last four decades, the Internet has evolved from peer‐to‐peer networking, world‐wide‐web, and mobile‐Internet to the IoT. The IoT is a network consisting of animals, people, objects, physical devices, e.g., home appliance sensors, actuators, vehicles, digital machines, and other electronic devices that can collect and exchange data with each other without human intervention. The communication ...
