Internet of Things (IoT) consists of a large number of connected objects that are communicating with each other. To support trusted communication between IoT objects, the authentication procedures should be used and applied to the communicating entities. Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging technology, which makes the remote sensing and control across the heterogeneous network a reality, and has good prospects in industrial applications. As an essential infrastructure, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) play a crucial role in industrial IoT. Due to the resource-constrained feature of sensor nodes, the design of security and efficiency balanced authentication scheme for WSNs becomes a significant challenge in IoT applications. In this paper, an anonymous authentication scheme for WSNs in an Internet of Things environments.

In this paper we present the details of methodology pursued in implementation of an HMI and Demo Temperature Monitoring application for wireless sensor-based distributed control systems. The application of WSN for a temperature monitoring and control is composed of a number of sensor nodes (motes) with a networking capability that can be deployed for monitoring and control purposes. The temperature is measured in the real time by the sensor boards that sample and send the data to the monitoring computer through a base station or gateway. This paper proposes how such monitoring system can be setup emphasizing on the aspects of low cost, energy-efficient, easy ad-hoc installation and easy handling and maintenance. This paper focuses on the overall potential of wireless sensor nodes and networking in industrial applications. A specific case study is given for the measurement of temperature (with thermistor or thermocouple), humidity, light and the health of the WSN. The focus was not on these four types of measurements and analysis but rather on the design of a communication protocol and building of an HMI software for monitoring. So, a set of system design requirements are developed that covered the use of the wireless platforms, the design of sensor network, the capabilities for remote data access and management, the connection between the WSN and an HMI software designed with MATLAB.

The Internet of things is playing more and more important role in smart healthcare, smart grids, and smart transportation, and using wireless sensor network (WSN), we can easily obtain and transmit information. However, the data security and users’ privacy are the biggest challenges for WSN because sensor nodes have low computing power and low storage capacity and are easy to be captured, and wireless networks are vulnerable. In 2021, Shuai et al. proposed a lightweight three-factor anonymous authentication scheme for WSN. However, we found that their protocol is vulnerable to stolen-verifier attack, modification of messages’ attack, and no perfect forward secrecy. Then, a new three-factor anonymous authentication scheme using elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is proposed. Through informal and formal security analyses, our scheme can resist various known attacks and maintains low computational complexity.

The use of AI algorithms in the IoT enhances the ability to analyse big data and various platforms for a number of IoT applications, including industrial applications. AI provides unique solutions in support of managing each of the different types of data for the IoT in terms of identification, classification, and decision making. In industrial IoT (IIoT), sensors, and other intelligence can be added to new or existing plants in order to monitor exterior parameters like energy consumption and other industrial parameters levels. In addition, smart devices designed as factory robots, specialized decision-making systems, and other online auxiliary systems are used in the industries IoT. Industrial IoT systems need smart operations management methods. The use of machine learning achieves methods that analyse big data developed for decision-making purposes. Machine learning drives efficient and effective decision making, particularly in the field of data flow and real-time analytics associated with advanced industrial computing networks.

Internet of Things (IoT) is a promising technology that uses wireless sensor networks to enable data collection, monitoring, and transmission from the physical devices to the Internet. Due to its potential large scale usage, efficient routing and Medium Access Control (MAC) techniques are vital to meet various application requirements. Most of the IoT applications need low data rate and low powered wireless transmissions and IEEE 802.15.4 standard is mostly used in this regard which offers superframe structure at the MAC layer. However, for IoT applications where nodes have adaptive data traffic, the standard has some limitations such as bandwidth wastage and latency. In this paper, a new superframe structure is proposed that is backward compatible with the existing parameters of the standard. The proposed superframe overcomes limitations of the standard by fine-tuning its superframe structure and squeezing the size of its contention-free slots. Thus, the proposed superframe adjusts its duty cycle according to the traffic requirements and accommodates more nodes in a superframe structure. The analytical results show that our proposed superframe structure has almost 50% less delay, accommodate more nodes and has better link utilization in a superframe as compared to the IEEE 802.15.4 standard.
