The Internet of Things (IoT) - the emerging global interconnection of
billions of 'smart' devices - will be collecting increasing amounts of
private and sensitive data about our lives, and will require increasing
degrees of reliability and trustworthiness in terms of the levels of
assurance provided with respect to confidentiality, integrity and
availability. This book examines these important security considerations
for the IoT.
Topics covered include a security survey of middleware for the IoT;
privacy in the IoT; privacy and consumer IoT - a sensemaking
perspective; a secure platform for smart cities and IoT; model - based
security engineering for the IoT; federated identity and access
management in IoT systems; the security of the MQTT protocol; securing
communications among severely constrained, wireless embedded devices;
lightweight cryptographic identity solutions for the IoT; and a
reputation model for the IoT.
