This book mainly concentrates on protecting data security and privacy
when participants communicate with each other in the Internet of Things
(IoT). Technically, this book categorizes and introduces a collection of
secure and privacy-preserving data communication schemes/protocols in
three traditional scenarios of IoT: wireless sensor networks, smart grid
and vehicular ad-hoc networks recently. This book presents three
advantages which will appeal to readers. Firstly, it broadens reader's
horizon in IoT by touching on three interesting and complementary
topics: data aggregation, privacy protection, and key agreement and
management. Secondly, various cryptographic schemes/protocols used to
protect data confidentiality and integrity is presented. Finally, this
book will illustrate how to design practical systems to implement the
algorithms in the context of IoT communication. In summary, readers can
simply learn and directly apply the new technologies to communicate data
in IoT after reading this book.
