Internet of Things (IoT) that has been developed owing toward the merging of various technologies such as instantaneous analytics, machine learning, artificial neural network, product sensors and implanted systems, etc. It also stages a significant part in multiple applications which are a smart city, smart home, agricultural, health monitoring, tourism, transportation, communication, business, education, etc. The security concern associating IoT has to be situated in the direction to attract the research community due to its immensely growing application in our daily life. Since it is light-weight nature, the security mechanism needs changes apart from comprehensive web security. PKI based certificate driven techniques, which in some instances seem not appropriate on the way toward encounter IoT challenges, e.g., as real-time effectiveness, costs, and performance from the security perspective. However, Blockchain has mind-blowing potentials to peer with the IoT aiming to build trust, transparency, and security. Its distinct properties, such as distributed behavior, immutability, and consensus mechanism, can stimulate and improve the rapidly growing IoT system through meaningful integration. We propose to address a practical smart home use case scenario using Ethereum Blockchain to improve IoT security. Public type and smart contract oriented Ethereum Blockchain are adaptable to enhance IoT security remains individual of the contributions that we claim throughout this research work.

Internet of Things should be able to integrate an extremely large amount of distributed and heterogeneous entities. To tackle heterogeneity, these entities will need to be consistently and formally represented and managed (registered, aligned, composed and queried) trough suitable abstraction technologies. Two distinct types of these entities are a) sensing/actuating devices that observe some features of interest or act on some other entities (call it ‘smart entities’), and b) applications that utilize the data sensed from or sent to the smart entities (call it ‘control entities’). The aim of this paper is to present the Semantic Smart Gateway Framework for supporting semantic interoperability between these types of heterogeneous IoT entities. More specifically, the paper describes an ontology as the key technology for the abstraction and semantic registration of these entities, towards supporting their automated deployment. The paper also described the alignment of IoT entities and of their exchanged messages. More important, the paper presents a use case scenario and a proof-of-concept implementation.

In recent years the Internet of Things (IoT) has rapidly become a revolutionary technological invention causing significant changes to the way both corporate computing systems, and even household gadgets and appliances, are designed and manufactured. The aim of this chapter is to highlight the security and privacy issues that may affect the evolution of IoT technology. The privacy issues are discussed from customer perspectives: first, the IoT privacy concern where the privacy debates on IoT and the IoT privacy that reflected from users' perspective based on the examination of previous researches results. In addition, the different architectures for IoT are discussed. Finally, the chapter discusses the IoT security concern by collecting, analyzing and presenting the major IoT security concerns in the literature as well as providing some potential solutions to these concerns.

The Internet of Things (IoT) connects billions of interconnected devices that can exchange information with each other with minimal user intervention. The goal of IoT to become accessible to anyone, anytime, and anywhere. IoT has engaged in multiple fields, including education, healthcare, businesses, and smart home. Security and privacy issues have been significant obstacles to the widespread adoption of IoT. IoT devices cannot be entirely secure from threats; detecting attacks in real-time is essential for securing devices. In the real-time communication domain and especially in IoT, security and protection are the major issues. The resource-constrained nature of IoT devices makes traditional security techniques difficult. In this paper, the research work carried out in IoT Intrusion Detection System is presented. The Machine learning methods are explored to provide an effective security solution for IoT Intrusion Detection systems. Then discussed the advantages and disadvantages of the selected methodology. Further, the datasets used in IoT security are also discussed. Finally, the examination of the open issues and directions for future trends are also provided.

Pervasive sensing facilitated by Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) technologies offered the integration of modern technology into a daily routine. The smart sensing approach offers the ability to sense the ambient parameters and use of different objects in the urban environment. Identification and monitoring technologies, WSNs, wireless communication protocols, and dispersed intelligence for objects are primitive elements of smart environmental solution. The WSNs with the application of Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud Computing are uplifting the smart home solutions and applications. The present research work aims to develop smart home and building solutions based on IoT and cloud computing. The cloud implementation using free cloud space, which is based on collaboration between public and private clouds, is presented. Additionally the research work recorded recent practical challenges and limitations encounter while designing the IoT-based smart environment. The research identifies the IoT idea through the conjunction of WSNs, the internet and distributed computing with data mining and machine learning an approach to apply at smart home to benefit and humankind.

Internet of Things (IoT) platforms have a great number of vulnerabilities which cyber-attackers can exploit. A possible solution largely contemplated in the state of the art is to make use of blockchain technology in any IoT system to enhance the security of the platform while improving other of its aspects. Although there are valuable benefits of the use of IoT platforms based on blockchain technology, it is worth studying the different alternatives between blockchain technologies, because all of them have their own limitations that are not suitable for every use case scenario. In this work, we listed a number of flaws that blockchain technology has in this respect. We have identified that, most of the flaws can be overcome by adapting the variants of this technology to the specific needs of the IoT platform. Every IoT system based on blockchain technology, should perform a systematic analysis of their needs, identifying what are the blockchain features sought for that scenario, to choose the solution that best meets the needs among the different blockchain technology alternatives.

Internet of things adalah sebuah gagasan untuk membuat semua benda di dunia nyata dapat berkomunikasi satu sama lain sebagai bagian dari satu kesatuan sistem terpadu menggunakan jaringan internet sebagai penghubung. Pemanfaatan internet of things dapat digunakan untuk mengendalikan alat elektronik seperti pada pembuatan smart home. Smart home memadukan teknologi informasi dan teknologi komputasi yang diterapkan di dalam rumah ataupun bangunan yang dihuni oleh manusia dengan mengandalkan efisiensi, otomatisasi perangkat, kenyamanan, keamanan, dan penghematan perangkat elektronik rumah. Smart home yang dibuat dalam penelitian ini hanya dapat mengontrol lampu dan kipas angin dari jarak jauh serta dapat mengetahui status ketinggian air di rumah melalui smartphone. Tahap pembuatan aplikasi dimulai dari skema diagram rancangan aplikasi, flowchart, use case diagram smart home, rancangan rangkaian smart home, pembuatan chat bot, dan pengujian. Pembuatan smart home menggunakan NodeMCU ESP8266 V3 dan aplikasi chat bot pada smartphone Android. Setelah dilakukan uji coba, pengontrolan lampu dan kipas angin dari jarak jauh berhasil dilakukan dengan menggunakan smartphone berbasis Android yang terhubung ke internet. Selain itu, status ketinggian air dalam rumahpun dapat diketahui penghuni dimanapun berada.
