In the Internet of Things (IoT), not only computers like servers but also devices with sensor and actuator devices are interconnected. It is critical to make the IoT secure, especially devices. In the capability-based access control (CapBAC) model proposed to make IoT devices secure, an owner of each device issues a capability token, i.e. a set of access rights, to a subject. Only a subject holding the capability token is allowed to manipulate the device. However, a subject may get data in a device d1 via another device d2 although the subject holds no capability token to get data from the device d1. Here, the data in the device d1 illegally flow to the subject. In this article, the authors propose the operation interruption (OI) protocol where illegal get operations are interrupted. In the evaluation, the ratio of the number of get operations interrupted to the total number of get operations is kept constant even if the numbers of subjects and access rights granted to each subject increase in the OI protocol.

In this Chapter a new way of payments for Internet of Things services is proposed, based on a stream of anonymous pico-payments realized by means of pico-coins. System architecture and information flow are presented, showing fully automated way of contextual payments which protect customers' privacy. With the proposed stream of pico-payments, two basic problems of efficient and widely acceptable payment method for the Internet of Things are solved: privacy protection, and toleration of frequent unexpected disconnections.

At present, it is urgent to solve the problem of scenic area tourism environmental capacity. This paper analyzes the causes of congestion and overload in scenic spots and then points out that the methods to solve the problem are capacity restriction and flow control. This paper first calculates the spatial capacity of various tourism resources in a scenic spot by using mathematical model and then studies the intelligent spatial management model of tourist flow in the scenic spot based on the Internet of Things technology. Based on the Internet of Things technology, the spatial capacity control platform of tourist resources in scenic spots built in this paper can realize the structure analysis of peak forest of tourist flow in scenic spots and the fractal and fractal dimension analysis of tourist flow and determine the spatial and temporal threshold of tourist flow control in tourist destinations. Through capacity restriction and flow regulation, tourists can be scientifically channelled and distributed, which can greatly reduce congestion and overload, enhance tourist experience, and improve tourist satisfaction, so as to promote the sustainable development of the scenic spot.

The internet of things will bring a new development of intelligent container industry. This paper introduces the concept of the internet of things and intelligent container, it will be the trend of the development of cargo is indicated, the architecture of the intelligent container technology based on the internet of things is proposed and workflow of the intelligent container is summarized. So the application can enable the share of information among logistics participants, making the information flow the transport stream to the same and developing the efficiency and security of the transportation of containers.

Information flow control on the Internet is a desirable feature when it comes to content such as neo-Nazi propaganda, child pornography, or material showing extreme violence or crimes. In order to provide for a flexible control of information flow on the Internet, we present the pattern system InFO (short for: Information Flow Ontology). InFO provides a common support for different enforcing systems such as routers, proxies, or name servers by abstracting from existing as well as possible future regulation types. Thus, unlike existing solutions, InFO provides information flow control on the Internet-layer, transport-layer, as well as application-layer. In addition, InFO allows for linking the technical implementation of a flow control policy with a human-readable representation including its legal background (law) and organizational motivation (code of conduct). Besides a detailed description of the pattern system, we also provide various examples demonstrating the practical applicability of InFO. InFO has been implemented for name servers, routers, as well as application-level proxy servers. Its source code is available to the public.
