Internet of things technology is developing at an exceptionally fast pace. This applies to both industrial and consumer Internet. The "things" account for billions, and many areas of application have been formed. At the same time, the state of information security of the Internet of things is not satisfactory, and protective measures are clearly inferior to Commerce. This is especially dangerous because the Internet of things spans two worlds: digital and physical, and security breaches can cause both informational and physical damage. The Internet of things is developing rapidly, so it is natural that it experiences typical growth diseases-fragmentation and uneven development. The base for ensuring security is mostly formed (but continues to be formed), the question is how quickly there will be a harmonization of approaches, and advanced ideas will be accepted by device manufacturers. Many state and non-state agencies actively promote security tools, inform and train manufacturers and consumers. The article is an overview of the main provisions of information security of the Internet of things. An attempt is made to consider software and technical and legislative levels of Internet of things security. This makes it different from other publications of a similar nature. Only a holistic, integrated approach can improve real information security. Authors outline basic concepts and describe a reference model of Internet of things, draw attention to the peculiarities of the Internet of things that are important from the security point of view, enumerate typical threats for Internet of things. The legislative level of information security, security recommendations for the Internet of things, manufacturers description of usage, and installation of software corrections are considered in detail.

Recently, the scientific community has demonstrated a special interest in the process related to the integration of the agent-oriented technology with Internet of Things (IoT) platforms. Then, it arises a novel approach named Internet of Agents (IoA) as an alternative to add an intelligence and autonomy component for IoT devices and networks. This paper presents an analysis of the main benefits derived from the use of the IoA approach, based on a practical point of view regarding the necessities that humans demand in their daily life and work, which can be solved by IoT networks modeled as IoA infrastructures. It has been presented 24 study cases of the IoA approach at different domains ––smart industry, smart city and smart health wellbeing–– in order to define the scope of these proposals in terms of intelligence and autonomy in contrast to their corresponding generic IoT applications.

The Internet of Things is a concept of a computer network of physical objects equipped with built-in technologies for interacting with each other or with the external environment, considering the organization of such networks as a phenomenon that can restructure economic and social processes, eliminating the need for human participation from part of actions and operations. IoT technology has had a significant impact on the development of information technology and other industries. According to Forbes, the Internet of Things market is expected to reach $520 billion in 2021, up from $235 billion in 2017, indicating a continued growth in demand for such devices in the future. Gartner Research also estimates that the number of devices connected to the Internet will reach 25 billion by 2021, up from 8.4 billion in 2017. Network with IoT devices connected is an indispensable prey for intruders. There are many ways to attack IoT devices. In this article, the authors have identified several methods of protection. Among them, network interaction monitoring through the analysis is highlighted. The paper also describes how to apply this method in practice.

Due to the evolution of silicon chips manufacturing processes at smaller and smaller nanoscales, the computing and memory substrates are increasingly changing, especially from an energy point of view. Considering projects with transistors composed of countable atoms quantities, small variations in the construction process can lead to energy costs of 10 times greater for the same processing. Software systems that identify hardware characteristics and take measures to adapt to the execution context amortize unnecessary energy expenditures. This economy is crucial for the execution continuity of embedded systems and/or applications used in the Internet of Things (IoT), where the energy resources are limited. One way to do this is by staggering tasks efficiently, postponing low-urgency services and running them all in only one period of CPU activity. The objective of this project was to increase the energy efficiency of IoT devices by creating a system that is capable of reorganizing and scheduling its tasks, as well as redistributing them in a network to be executed in nodes with characteristics of lower resource consumption.

Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging topic in the field of information technology (IT) that has attracted the interest of researchers from different parts of the world. Authentication of IoT includes the establishment of a model for controlling access to IoT devices through the internet and other unsecured network platforms. Strong authentication of IoT is necessary for ensuring that machines and devices could be trusted when it comes to data sharing. The whole idea of authentication further prevents cybercriminals from using loopholes in IoT devices to access data that they are not allowed to access. Various authentication techniques could be used to secure IoT servers and devices. Establishing mutual authentication between IoT servers and IoT devices has attracted a lot of research interests because it helps enhance the effectiveness and overall security of data sharing. Therefore, this research provides the basis for analyzing the whole idea of using security keys to encrypt both IoT servers and IoT devices.

The development of IoT concept makes it necessary to search and improve models and methods for analyzing the state of remote autonomous devices. Due to the fact that some devices are located outside the controlled area, it becomes necessary to develop universal models and methods for identifying the state of low-power devices from a computational point of view, using complex approaches to analyzing data coming from various information channels. The article discusses an approach to identifying IoT devices state, based on parallel functioning classifiers that process time series received from elements in various states and modes of operation. The aim of the work is to develop an approach for identifying the state of IoT devices based on time series recorded during the execution of various processes. The proposed solution is based on methods of parallel classification and statistical analysis, requires an initial labeled sample. The use of several classifiers that give an answer "independently" from each other makes it possible to average the error by "collective" voting. The developed approach is tested on a sequence of classifying algorithms, to the input of which the time series obtained experimentally under various operating conditions were fed. Results are presented for a naive Bayesian classifier, decision trees, discriminant analysis, and the k nearest neighbors method. The use of a sequence of classification algorithms operating in parallel allows scaling by adding new classifiers without losing processing speed. The method makes it possible to identify the state of the Internet of Things device with relatively small requirements for computing resources, ease of implementation, and scalability by adding new classifying algorithms.

Security is always at the forefront of developing technologies. One can seldom go a week without hearing of a new data breach or hacking attempt from various groups around the world, often taking advantage of a simple flaw in a system’s architecture. The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of these developing technologies which may be at risk of such attacks. IoT devices are becoming more and more prevalent in everyday life. From keeping track of an individual’s health, to suggesting meals from items available in an individual’s fridge, these technologies are taking a much larger role in the personal lives of their users. With this in mind, how is security being considered in the development of these technologies? Are these devices that monitor individual’s personal lives just additional vectors for potential data theft? Throughout this survey, various approaches to the development of security systems concerning IoT devices in the home will be discussed, compared, and contrasted in the hope of providing an ideal solution to the problems this technology may produce.
