This booming field, moving from strictly research to the marketplace, is advancing rapidly, yet security issues abound.
This book explains the fundamental concepts of IoT security, describing practical solutions that account for resource limitations at IoT end-node, hybrid network architecture, communication protocols, and application characteristics. Highlighting the most important potential IoT security risks and threats, the book covers both the general theory and practical implications for people working in security in the Internet of Things.
- Helps researchers and practitioners understand the security architecture in IoT and the state-of-the-art in IoT security countermeasures
- Explores how the threats in IoT are different from traditional ad hoc or infrastructural networks
- Provides a comprehensive discussion on the security challenges and solutions in RFID, WSNs, and IoT
- Contributed material by Dr. Imed Romdhani
Network and cybersecurity engineers, designers, system analysts, and administrators, as well as corporate and university researchers
