The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical objects that contain electronics embedded in their architecture to communicate and feel the interactions between them or with the external environment. In the coming years, IoT-based technology will provide advanced levels of service and will virtually change the way people live their daily lives. Advances in medicine, engineering, business, agriculture, smart cities and smart homes are just some of the categorical examples in which the IoT is strongly established. In other words, IoT is the connection of any device (from mobile phones, vehicles, appliances and other embedded elements with sensors and actuators) to the Internet, so that these objects can exchange data with each other in a network. It is interesting to note that the difference between IoT and the Internet is the absence of human role.

Recently, there are heterogeneous devices that connect to the Internet to provide ubiquitous and intelligent services based on sensors and actuators in the network of the Internet of Things (IoT). The resources of IoT represent the physical entities on the Internet to expose functions through services. Resource management is necessary to enable a massive amount of IoT-connected devices to be discoverable and accessible in the network of IoT. In this paper, we propose an IoT resource management to provide schemes of device self-registration and status detection for devices based on the Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF) standard. This device self-registration scheme is based on an agent that is proposed for registering devices itself which deployed in the OCF network. The devices host the OCF resources to provide IoT services such as sensing and controlling through the sensors and actuators. For a group of devices, an agent-based self-registration is proposed to register the resources. Through the proposed self-registration, the information of IoT devices is published using profile and saved in the management platform that enables the clients to discover the resources and access the services. For accessing the IoT resources in the OCF network, an interworking proxy is proposed to support the communications between web clients and devices over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) based on OCF. Furthermore, through the interoperability of the resources using the registered information, a real-time monitoring scheme is proposed based on periodic request and response for the status detection of deployed devices.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming more pervasive in our daily lives and is being used to add conveniences to our everyday items. There are several standards that are allowing these devices to communicate with each other and ultimately, with our mobile devices. However, in a rush to meet market demand, security was not considered until after the device had already been placed on the market. Most of the work done in improving security has been in the area of encryption. However, with the relatively small footprint of IoT devices, this makes strong encryption difficult. The authors' method will show that the current algorithm used to determine the next Bluetooth frequency hop is vulnerable to attack, and will suggest a novel algorithm to more securely select the next frequency to use. They will simulate their solution algorithmically to showcase their approach and in so doing demonstrate that it moves to the next frequency in a more random pattern than the existing model achieves. In this article, the authors present a new framework for improving security that focuses on the timing of frequency hopping, particularly in Bluetooth. The results show that focusing on different timing sequences for how long a device stays on a particular frequency both fits the current Bluetooth Lite architecture and provides adequate security for IoT devices, as it is demonstrably more random that the existing architecture.

The Internet of Things is created by giving Internet connections to objects embedded in the environment, including wearable items. When IoT devices are connected and coordinated in an urban environment, smart cities are created, which can allow control of the environment, for example to improve carbon emissions or traffic flow. Instrumentation of the environment creates problems of consent, privacy, security, safety, and trust. The status of the IoT with respect to Internet ideology is discussed. The Silicon Valley Open Internet supports citizen-centric development, but may lack coordination at scale. The DC Commercial Internet creates great power for platforms. The Brussels Bourgeois Internet values rights and privacy, which may suppress innovation. In China, India, and elsewhere, smart cities are seen as key to developing a paternal social vision under digital modernity. Given its key role in the IoT, this is where America’s battle against Huawei may be most consequential.

Fog computing enhances cloud computing to be closer to the processes that act on IOT devices. Fogging was introduced to overcome the cloud computing paradigm which was not able to address some services, applications, and other limitations of cloud computing such as security aspects, bandwidth, and latency. Fog computing provides the direct correlation with the internet of things. IBM and CISCO are linking their concepts of internet of things with the help of fog computing. Application services are hosted on the network edge. It improves the efficiency and reduces the amount of data that is transferred to the cloud for analysis, storage, and processing. Developers write the fog application and deploy it to the access points. Several applications like smart cities, healthcare domain, pre-processing, and caching applications have to be deployed and managed properly.
