The Internet of Things (IoT) represents the seamless merging of the real and digital world, with new devices created that store and pass around data. Processing large quantities of IoT data will proportionately increase workloads of data centres, leaving providers with new security, capacity, and analytics challenges. Handling this data conveniently is a critical challenge, as the overall application performance is highly dependent on the properties of the data management service. This article explores the challenges posed by cybercrime investigations and digital forensics concerning the shifting landscape of crime – the IoT and the evident investigative complexity – moving to the Internet of Anything (IoA)/Internet of Everything (IoE) era. IoT forensics requires a multi-faceted approach where evidence may be collected from a variety of sources such as sensor devices, communication devices, fridges, cars and drones, to smart swarms and intelligent buildings.

In this era of explosive growth in technology, the internet of things (IoT) has become the game changer when we consider technologies like smart homes and cities, smart energy, security and surveillance, and healthcare. The numerous benefits provided by IoT have become attractive technologies for users and cybercriminals. Cybercriminals of today have the tools and the technology to deploy millions of sophisticated attacks. These attacks need to be investigated; this is where digital forensics comes into play. However, it is not easy to conduct a forensic investigation in IoT systems because of the heterogeneous nature of the IoT environment. Additionally, forensic investigators mostly rely on evidence from service providers, a situation that can lead to evidence contamination. To solve this problem, the authors proposed a blockchain-based IoT forensic model that prevents the admissibility of tampered logs into evidence.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has dominated the digital world by enabling thousands of physical devices to communicate with each other and share useful data over the Internet. With use cases spanning every sphere of modern life, the IoT is all set to revolutionize the traveling sector by extending services associated with safety, security, surveillance, tracking, comfort, and a lot more. This paper presents the design and implementation of a prototype Easy-Weigh-Out, based on the principles of the IoT which enables a user to run Android-based mobile application and view the weight of luggage and track its location without any contact with it. The hardware of the system is built around Arduino UNO microcontroller which interfaces with a load cell (20 kg) via A/D converter and a NEO-6M Global Positioning System (GPS) module for tracking of the bag. The system uploads data to a Cloud server using ESP8266 Wi-Fi module. Our results show the real-time weight and tracking of the bag at a click of a button as well as long-term data logging.

The Internet of Things (IoT), a metaphor for smart, functional Cyberphysical Environments (CPE), is finding some usefulness in various sectors including healthcare, security, transportation, and the Smart Home (SH). Within the IoT, objects potentially operate autonomously to provide specified services and complete assigned tasks. However, the introduction of new technologies and/or the novel application of existing ones usually herald the discovery of unfamiliar security vulnerabilities, which lead to exploits and sometimes to security breaches. There is existing research that identifies IoT-related security concerns and breaches. This chapter discusses existing Digital Forensics (DF) models and methodologies for their applicability (or not) within the IoT domain using the SH as a case in point. The chapter also makes the argument for smart forensics, the use of a smart autonomous system (tagged the Forensics Edge Management System [FEMS]) to provide forensic services within the self-managed CPE of the SH.

After the .com boom, the next big thing in the 21st century is the “Internet of Things”. The “Internet of Things” is exploding and infusing intelligence globally. From infinitesimal chips to mammoth machineries, billions of smart gadgets communicate with each other with the aid of wireless devices. The day is not far when every physical item will no longer remain disconnected from the virtual world. Presently, your coffee kettle starts automatically when you wake up in the morning and lights go off when you leave home for your office where all devices are controlled/activated through your voice. Dream becomes reality, when the whole world will be running automatically and virtually with the initiation of a command. Connecting ‘Internet of Things’ with ‘Artificial Intelligence’, high-tech and scientific technologies will transform the world into a completely digital world. These two powerful pillars will build super-intelligent e-devices that are ready for new challenges. It will be made possible by evolving IP strategies, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), embedded sensors, actuators that are intelligently connected in machines and other physical objects. This paper aims to provide an insight into how the third wave of information technology i.e. Internet of Things (IoT) will interconnect the physical world using artificial intelligence. The paper will further discuss the building blocks of the IoT and the perspective areas where it can be implemented smartly.

Abstract Due to its huge application potential, the Internet of Things has received extensive attention from governments, academia and industry. The core concepts of the Internet of Things are perception, control, transmission and intelligence. Through technical means, the coordination of things and things, people and things, and people and people has been realized, thus forming a network based on sensor networks, the Internet, and mobile communication networks. A larger complex network system. However, restricted by the characteristics of network structure, terminal equipment, communication methods, application scenarios, etc., some security and privacy issues unique to the Internet of Things cannot be directly solved by existing Internet security technologies. Aiming at the general high complexity of existing algorithms, this article starts with the different phase-frequency characteristics of different filters, and designs a new low-complexity reduction system algorithm. According to the characteristics of the system that the filter structure can be flexibly selected, the method randomly allocates different filters to each sub-carrier and adjusts the phase of signal superimposition, thereby constructing a coordinated communication facility and management service coordination suitable for large-scale distributed IoT services. The interactive access control architecture realizes the confidentiality of data exchange between services.

World agriculture faces the challenge of increasing its agricultural production by 50% from 2012 to 2050, while reducing water consumption as agriculture accounts for 69% of all fresh water used on the planet. Given this scenario, the use of technologies such as the Internet of Things, Big Data, cyber-physical systems, among others, in the agricultural environment is increasingly necessary to ensure an increase in productivity and a decrease in the consumption of natural resources, thus the concept of smart farm emerges. Within this context, a digital twin for an irrigation system was developed in this work using the simulation software for discrete events integrated within an Internet of Things platform. The digital twin allows an exchange of information between the physical world and the digital world automatically, enabling the farmer to assess the current state of his irrigation system, validate the behavior of the given irrigation recommendation and execute this validated irrigation recommendation. The communication between the various components of the Internet of Things platform and the software was applied to evaluate only the digital part of the digital twin. In this way, it is possible to evaluate the correct functioning of the platform and the irrigation system through the digital model before implanting the platform and the system in the field. It is estimated that after the implantation of the platform and the system in the field it would still be possible to monitor its behavior over time, thus allowing a digital twin for an irrigation system to be functional during an entire harvest
