Internet of Things Security: Principles, Applications, Attacks, and Countermeasures

Internet of Things (IoT) with its technological advancements and massive innovations is building the idea of inter-connectivity among everyday life objects. With an explosive growth in number of Internet-connected devices, the implications of the idea of IoT on enterprises, individuals, and society are huge. It is getting attention from both academia and industry due to its powerful real-time applications that raises demand to understand the entire spectrum of the field. However, due to increasing security issues, safeguarding the IoT ecosystem has become an important concern. With devices and information becoming more exposed leading to increasing attack possibilities, adequate security measures are required to be put into place to leverage the benefits of this emerging concept.

Internet of Things Security: Principles, Applications, Attacks, and Countermeasures is an extensive source that aims at establishing an understanding of the core concepts of IoT among the readers, and the challenges and corresponding countermeasures in the field. Key features associated with the subject matter of this book include:

• Containment of theoretical aspects as well as recent empirical findings associated with the underlying technologies.
• Exploration of various challenges and trade-offs associated with the field, and approaches to ensure security, privacy, safety, and trust across its key elements.
• Vision of exciting areas for future research in the field to enhance the overall productivity.

This book is suitable for industrial professionals and practitioners, researchers, faculty members, and students across the universities who are looking forward to carry out research and development in the field of IoT security.
