Green house is generally a building of small or large structures. The structure of the green house is made of walls and the translucent roof, with the capability of maintaining the planned climatic condition. It ensures the growth of plants that requires a specified level of soil moisture, sunlight, humidity and temperature. The green house systems available are human monitored systems that entail the continuous human visit causing distress to the worker and also decrease in the yield if the temperature and the humidity are not properly and regularly maintained. This paves way for the concept of the green house automation. The green house automation formed by the incorporation of the Internet of things and the embedded system addresses the problem faced in the green house and provides with the automated controlling and monitoring of the green house environment replacing the undeviating administration of the farmers. This paper also proposes the automation using internet of things in green house environment by using the Netduino 3 and employing the sensors for the sensing the moisture, temperature, sunlight and humidity, to enhance the production rate and minimize the discomfort caused to the farmers.

This chapter explores the encryption techniques used for the internet of things (IoT). The security algorithm used for IoT should follow many constraints of an embedded system. Hence, lightweight cryptography is an optimum security solution for IoT devices. This chapter mainly describes the need for security in IoT, the concept of lightweight cryptography, and various cryptographic algorithms along with their shortcomings given IoT. This chapter also describes the principle of operation of all the above algorithms along with their security analysis. Moreover, based on the algorithm size (i.e., the required number of gate equivalent, block size, key size, throughput, and execution speed of the algorithm), the chapter reports the comparative analysis of their performance. The chapter discusses the merits and demerits of these algorithms along with their use in the IoT system.

The proliferation of smart objects with capability of sensing, processing and communication has grown in recent years. In this scenario, the Internet of Things (IoT) connects these objects to the Internet and provides communication with users and devices. IoT enables a huge amount of new applications, with which academics and industries can benefit, such as smart cities, health care and automation. In this environment, compose of constrained devices, the widespread adoption of this paradigm depends of security requirements like secure communication between devices, privacy and anonymity of its users. This paper presents the main security challenges and solutions to provide authentication and authorization on the Internet of Things.

The internet of Things (IOT) is always giving unprecedented answers for the customary issues looked by man.One of the real obstacles in city is we are spending huge expenses on street light.  To control the street lights based on detection of sunlight by implemented with smart embedded system. The paper is mainly utilized for smart and climate adaptive lighting in street lights. The street lights are automatically ON during the evening time and automatically OFF during day time.The street light can be accessed to turn ON or OFF at anyplace and anytime through web.In addition to that On top of the street light we are placing camera to track the activities performed on the street and where the recordings are stored in a server. Furthermore a panic button is placed on the pole, If there is any emergency situations like harassment, robbery there is a panic button is available at the reachable height any person can press it if he is in danger. If people are unable to press the panic button, they should use voice recognition which is connected to panic button, when it recognises some commands like help, it automatically press the panic button. Whenever the panic button is pressed, the footages at that time recorded by the camera is sent straightforwardly to the cloud account. The near specific police headquarters can have access of the account by which they can see the incident’s spot. Every region's street lights are associated with the specific area's police headquarters and cloud account can be accessible by each of them. Here GSMTechnology is eliminated completely.Safety and energy consumptions can be ensured by this idea.

This paper discusses an elevator monitoring system based on embedded system and the internet of things. Through multi-sensor information acquisition, much information can be accessed to such as vibration, acceleration, speed, running noise,direction,floor station,door switch of the elevator car and power supply voltage,current, temperature of the traction machine,at the same time the noise and the temperature of the computer room with the information if there is anyone in the elevator, etc.. WinCE operating system is ported to the master control chip S3C2410 of ARM9 architecture,and a WAN connection between the elevator parameter monitoring terminals and the remote control center is established to realize the centralized monitoring and automatic remote failure alarm for the elevator operation. This system provides technical support for elevator safety regulation and the practical running results is satisfactory.


In this era of technological advances, it will be impractical to think of a day without the usage of gadgets. Development and popularity of the Internet of Things have helped mankind a lot in several ways, but at the same time, there has also been an increase in attacks invading the underlying security. Advances in studies have resulted in the development of evolved algorithms that can be used in order to reduce the attacks and threats to the Internet of Things. With several advancements in studies and research works, the security measures on various Internet of Things based components and protocols are developing with time, but concurrently more advanced threats and attacks on these components are also evolving. These attacks are not only harmful to the components, but rather they also affect the users and applications that are associated with it, by breaching data, increase in inconsistency and inaccuracy, and many more. This work deals with the study of several attacks that are associated with the Internet of Things and also the approaches to secure the IoT systems. This work will also help in coming up with further up-gradation in the currently implemented security protocols and also in predicting the possible attacks that can be developed against the IoT protocols.
