Surveillance systems paradigm envisions the pervasive interconnection and cooperation of interactive devices over the Internet infrastructure. Nevertheless, dissemination and processing of surveillance video amid the Internet of Things (IoT) applications become a susceptible issue due to the large volume and the significant information of these data. Moreover, surveillance devices on IoT have very limited resources such as memory and storage. The actual security methods are not quite appropriate for surveillance IoT systems. Thus, a particular cryptosystem technique is required for surveillance data security. In this paper, we propose an efficient cryptosystem to secure IoT-based surveillance systems. The proposed cryptosystem framework contains three parts. First, a lightweight automatic summarization technique based on a fast histogram-clustering approach is used to extract the keyframes from the surveillance video. Then, we employ a discrete cosine transform (DCT) technique to compress the extracted data size. Finally, the proposed framework performs an efficient image encryption algorithm by employing a discrete fractional random transform (DFRT). The testing results and analysis confirm the features of the proposed cryptosystem on surveillance systems. The proposed framework is fast and ensures secure and efficient real-time processing by minimizing the transmission cost and storage.

The paper considers the concept of "Internet of Things", which is increasingly penetrating into various spheres of human life and contributes to a significant qualitative change in economic, operational and technological processes. The stages of functioning of the Internet of Things and the levels of its architecture are considered. Based on an analysis of a number of literature sources, the IoT has the greatest impact on six industries such as electricity and housing, health, agriculture and livestock, freight transportation and storage, smart city and construction, and manufacturing. A description of the main types of services for each of these industries and the role of the Internet of Things for its development. It is determined that the application of IoT solutions: in energy - allows to reduce the cost of infrastructure operation, prevent serious accidents and increase the efficiency of asset use; in healthcare - provides real-time streaming of data from devices that monitor the human condition, which allows for accurate diagnosis, increase the accuracy of results and optimize the provision of medical care; in agriculture and livestock - allows to significantly increase the efficiency of cultivation and reduce losses of agricultural products by raising awareness in decision-making and the ability to respond quickly to changes in weather, prices, market situation, etc .; for transportation and storage of goods - allows to provide smooth movement of operations and reduction of underutilization of resources for profit maximization; for "smart city" and construction - allows you to fundamentally improve the city's economy, improve living standards and public safety through more efficient management of housing and communal services, transport and services for the population; for industrial production - allows you to optimize production processes, modify business models, as well as increase productivity and efficiency, while reducing costs.

Abstract Information technology has massively transformed the world of business over the past fifty years - first individual functional areas within companies (“first wave”), later increasingly also cross-divisional value-added processes and trade (“second wave”). Those companies that recognized the tremendous economic potential of these upheavals and consistently adapted, profited enormously - many others, however, fell dramatically. At the same time, innovative startups emerged that successfully created and occupied new markets. With the Internet of Things (IoT), the third digital wave is currently rolling up. Their impact will be enormous - both for our everyday lives and for many industries that have so far been largely spared the disruptive power of digital transformation. Accordingly, the challenges facing most companies today are: understanding more complex competition, acquiring new digital technologies, making existing offerings smart, developing new services, networking production, efficiently analyzing vast amounts of data, and building viable organizations to push all this forward. The IoT is a driver for digitization. By analyzing machine data, the use of sensors and the intelligent real-time processing of huge amounts of data in the cloud, new business models are created. With the information gained, companies are able to improve their value chain. However, one of the most difficult issues in this context for many companies is how they can further develop their existing business model or establish successful new business models that will be based on new technologies and IoT. To investigate resulting impacts, we draw on the existing business models and deduct specifics for the Internet of Things. Building on this, in order to reach the aims of the paper the authors will use a descriptive research method and a case study in order to present how new business models work with the IoT.

Recently blockchain technology has been advocated as a solution fitting many different problems in several applicative fields; among these fields there is the Internet of Things (IoT) too. In this paper we show the most significant properties of a blockchain, how they suite the use case of a cryptocurrency and how they map onto the needs of IoT systems. We claim that a blockchain does not provide a significant advantage with respect to other database technologies in a field such as Internet of Things where computational power comes at a premium, energy is often scarce and storage scalability is a major challenge.

With the arrival of the Internet of Things (IoT) era and the rise of Big Data, cloud computing, and similar technologies, data resources are becoming increasingly valuable. Organizations and users can perform all kinds of processing and analysis on the basis of massive IoT data, thus adding to their value. However, this is based on data-sharing transactions, and most existing work focuses on one aspect of data transactions, such as convenience, privacy protection, and auditing. In this paper, a data-sharing-transaction application based on blockchain technology is proposed, which comprehensively considers various types of performance, provides an efficient consistency mechanism, improves transaction verification, realizes high-performance concurrency, and has tamperproof functions. Experiments were designed to analyze the functions and storage of the proposed system.

Dramatical changes in society’s infrastructure require new conceptual approaches towards the research of socioeconomic phenomena. Nowadays, environment surrounding people experience qualitative changes; it has become possible to use full information on the history of objects. It is essential to develop a conceptual framework enabling to thoroughly describe the interaction of an individual and a socioeconomic environment that is changed by digital technologies. In this article, it is suggested to use the concept of socioeconomic technology in the context of exploration of digitalization processes. These include the Internet of things, big data processing, widespread implementation of personal tools to process and share information etc. The concept of socioeconomic technology allows tying up new technologies with the needs of an individual and society as well as with phenomena emerging in socioeconomic infrastructure. The suggested approach may be used at the development and implementation of the Internet of things, of global communication infrastructure, of technologies for processing and storage of data, and for the research of other aspects of society’s digitalization. Today it is possible to research different directions for the development of consumption sphere and technologies taking into account the emergence of virtual properties of objects. Virtual properties result for example in multiple ways to implement things, in the possibility to store and use the full history of major objects surrounding an individual. Conceptual framework suggested in this article allows holistically addressing the issues of commercial efficiency and socioeconomic management in the age of digitalization.

Internet of Things is a very broad concept and it is the name given to the interconnection of everyday devices to simplify, ease or provide useful information to the user. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) defines IoT as "A global infrastructure for the information society, enabling advanced services by interconnecting (physical and virtual) things based on, existing and evolving, interoperable information and communication technologies". The name "Internet of Things" was first coined in 1999 by Kevin Ashton in a presentation to Proctor and Gamble. In this paper, we review the protocols, architecture, and applications surfacing in the region of the Internet of Things in the current years. The web of things has the capability of changing a great part of the world we live in. IoT comprises of an advanced cluster of sensors inserted into various "things" that ceaselessly transmits and shares significant information to different gadgets and cloud. Information that causes us better see how these things function and cooperate. But how all of this can happen on such a large scale with so many devices transmitting data? A simple answer to that would be the Internet of Things platform that brings diverse information and provides a common language for the devices and apps to communicate with each other.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has become increasingly popular in the recent decade. The Internet of Things helps people live and work smarter, as well as gain complete control over their lives. The concept of the IoT went widely into practice in different fields – Infrastructure, Production, Healthcare, Banks, Smart cities, Insurance, Media, Retail, Connected homes / Smart buildings, Agriculture, and many more. Modern agriculture can show its potential and importance by using these innovative technologies. The measuring devices, ensuring the transformation of data for the external environment into machine-readable data, at the same time filling the computing environment with significant information are very important. A wide range of measuring devices is used, from elementary sensors (e.g. temperature, pressure, illumination), consumption meters (e.g. smart meters) to complex integrated measuring systems. Satellites, drones, wireless sensor networks, analytical farming devices systems, farm management systems, big data applied to the farm are very useful and applicable in smart farming. The Internet of Things is a huge opportunity for farmers to monitor their crops and increase productivity, to monitor their livestock, to manage all the processes in their work and to take decisions at the right time. The article analyzes issues related to the modern IoT methods and their usage in general and in the area of agriculture. The main goal is to analyze the current state of IoT and its potential in areas of rural development and agriculture in the Republic of Bulgaria.

Internet has become a vital part of our lives. The number of Internet connected devices are increasing every day and approximate there will be 34 billion IoT devices by 2020. It is observed that security is very weak in these devices and can be easily compromised by hackers as some manufactures failed to implement basic security. Current devices use standards that are easy to implement and works for most forms of communications and storage. There is no such standard solution that will work on every device within the Internet of Things, because of the varied constraints between different devices; resulting in classifications within the Internet of Things. This study addresses security challenges in the Internet of Things (IoT); first will discuss the IoT evolution, architecture and its applications in industries. Further, classify and examine privacy threats, including survey, and pointing out the challenges that need to be overcome to ensure that the Internet of Things becomes a reality.
