In Internet of Things (IoT) applications, among various authentication techniques, keystroke authentication methods based on a user’s touch behavior have received increasing attention, due to their unique benefits. In this paper, we present a technique for obtaining high user authentication accuracy by utilizing a user’s touch time and force information, which are obtained from an assembled piezoelectric touch panel. After combining artificial neural networks with the user’s touch features, an equal error rate (EER) of 1.09% is achieved, and hence advancing the development of security techniques in the field of IoT.

This article focuses on the analysis of promising technologies for long-range traffic transmission for the implementation of the Internet of Things. The result of the review of technical features of technologies, their advantages and disadvantages is given. A comparative analysis was performed. An analysis is made that in the future heterogeneous structures based on the integration of many used radio technologies will play a crucial role in the implementation of fifth generation networks and systems. The Internet of Things (IoT) is heavily affecting our daily lives in many domains, ranging from tiny wearable devices to large industrial systems. Consequently, a wide variety of IoT applications have been developed and deployed using different IoT frameworks. An IoT framework is a set of guiding rules, protocols, and standards which simplify the implementation of IoT applications. The success of these applications mainly depends on the ecosystem characteristics of the IoT framework, with the emphasis on the security mechanisms employed in it, where issues related to security and privacy are pivotal. In this paper, we survey the security of the main IoT frameworks, a total of 8 frameworks are considered. For each framework, we clarify the proposed architecture, the essentials of developing third-party smart apps, the compatible hardware, and the security features. Comparing security architectures shows that the same standards used for securing communications, whereas different methodologies followed for providing other security properties.

The role of the internet of things (IoT) and cyberspace in a digital society is well recognized, and they have become tremendously popular due to certain features like the ability to ease the operational process of businesses and instant communication. Recent developments in the fields of wireless communication networks like 4G, 5G, and 6G with IoT applications have greatly benefited human welfare. Still, the rapid growth of various IoT applications focuses on automating different tasks and are trying to empower the inanimate physical objects to act without any human intervention. It has also contributed to unethical practices by hackers who use new tools and techniques to penetrate more complex or well-controlled environments and produce increased damage and even remain under the cover. The main objective of this chapter is to improve understanding of the challenges to secure future digital infrastructure while it is still evolving. In this context, a detailed review of the security-related issues, challenges, threats, and countermeasures in the IoT applications is presented.

With the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the past two decades have seen a proliferation of Assistive Technology (AT) and its enabling impact on the lives of people with disabilities in the areas of accessing information, communication, and daily living activities. Due to recent emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT), the fields of rehabilitation, healthcare, and education are challenged to incorporate the IoT applications into current AT services. While IoT applications continue to be developed and integrated into AT, they are still at a primitive stage where clear guidelines are yet to be developed and benefits are yet to be substantiated to ensure the quality of lives of people with disabilities. This chapter provides an overview of the IoT and AT integrated applications based on the building blocks of the IoT, along with recent trends and issues relevant to accessing technology for people with disabilities.

The Internet of Things (IoT) will consist of billions (50 billions by 2020) of interconnected heterogeneous devices denoted as “Smart Objects:” tiny, constrained devices which are going to be pervasively deployed in several contexts. To meet low-latency requirements, IoT applications must rely on specific architectures designed to handle the gigantic stream of data coming from Smart Objects. This paper propose a novel Cloud architecture for Big Stream applications that can efficiently handle data coming from Smart Objects through a Graph-based processing platform and deliver processed data to consumer applications with low latency. The authors reverse the traditional “Big Data” paradigm, where real-time constraints are not considered, and introduce the new “Big Stream” paradigm, which better fits IoT scenarios. The paper provides a performance evaluation of a practical open-source implementation of the proposed architecture. Other practical aspects, such as security considerations, and possible business oriented exploitation plans are presented.

Fog computing has latency, particularly for healthcare applications, which is of the utmost importance. This research aims to be a comprehensive literature analysis of healthcare innovations for fog computing. All of these components involved special abilities. In sequence, developers must be qualified to write stable, healthy IoT programs in four distinct fields of software production: embedded, server, tablet, and web-based. Furthermore, the distributed results, IoT structure essence, dispersed abilities in programming play a deciding position. This chapter discusses the difficulties in creating the IoT method and summarizing findings and observations. Experiences of the need for and co-presence of various kinds of skills in software creation in the construction of IoT applications are discussed.

We live in complex times in the health, social, political, and energy spheres, and we must be aware of and implement new trends in intelligent social health systems powered by the Internet of Things (IoT). Sustainable development, energy efficiency, and public health are interrelated parameters that can transform a system or an environment for the benefit of people and the planet. The integration of sensors and smart devices should promote energy efficiency and ensure that sustainable development goals are met. This work is carried out according to a mixed approach, with a literature review and an analysis of the impact of the Sustainable Development Goals on the applications of the Internet of Things and smart systems. In the analysis of results, the following questions are answered about these systems and applications: (a) Are IoT applications key to the improvement of people’s health and the environment? (b) Are there research and case studies implemented in cities or territories that demonstrate the effectiveness of IoT applications and their benefits to public health? (c) What sustainable development indicators and objectives can be assessed in the applications and projects analyzed?
