Internet of Things (IoT) is the emerging technology finding applications in a wide range of fields that include smart homes, intelligent transportation, e-health, supply chain management. Among IoT applications, e-health is one of the most promising application in which smart devices capable of monitoring physiological parameters of patients are implanted in or around their bodies which automatically sense and transmit collected data to medical consultants. However, security issues for electronic patient records (EPR) in-transit hinder the usage of IoT in e-health systems. Among these issues, EPR confidentiality and entity authentication are major concerns. In this article, confidentiality of EPR and its secure transmission over network is focused mainly. A security framework is proposed where-in smart devices encrypt sensed physiological data with Light-Weight Encryption Algorithm and Advanced Encryption Standard cryptographic algorithms. The security framework and the designed protocol provides better security and are energy efficient as presented in the evaluation section.

With the fast development and expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT), billions of smart devices are being continuously connected, and smart homes, as a typical IoT application, are providing people with various convenient applications, but face security and privacy issues. The idea of Blockchain (BC) theory has brought about a potential solution to the IoT security problem. The emergence of blockchain technology has brought about a change of decentralized management, providing an effective solution for the protection of network security and privacy. On the other hand, the smart devices in IoT are always lightweight and have less energy and memory. This makes the application of blockchain difficult. Against this background, this paper proposes a blockchain model based on hypergraphs. The aims of this model are to reduce the storage consumption and to solve the additional security issues. In the model, we use the hyperedge as the organization of storage nodes and convert the entire networked data storage into part network storage. We discuss the design of the model and security strategy in detail, introducing some use cases in a smart home network and evaluating the storage performance of the model through simulation experiments and an evaluation of the network.

Internet-of-Things (IoT) is an inevitable domain of technology that is going to capture the connectivity of the majority of the smart devices in the coming days supported by huge advancement in mobile computing. However, IoT still suffers serious security issues when it comes to performing extensive communication over a broad range of heterogeneous devices. A review of existing secure routing schemes shows that they are complex in operation overlooking the communication performance and resource-constrained factors. Therefore, the proposed system introduces a very novel, simple, and cost-effective, secure routing scheme that is not only capable of identifying the threats without any apriority information of adversary, but they are equally capable of isolating the threats from the connectivity of regular IoT nodes. The simulated outcome of the proposed system shows that it offers a better solution towards security in contrast to existing security approaches frequently exercised in IoT at present

The Internet Of Things

The Internet of Things (IoT) became established during the last decade as an emerging technology with considerable potentialities and applicability. Its paradigm of everything connected together penetrated the real world, with smart devices located in several daily appliances. Such intelligent objects are able to communicate autonomously through already existing network infrastructures, thus generating a more concrete integration between real world and computer-based systems. On the downside, the great benefit carried by the IoT paradigm in our life brings simultaneously severe security issues, since the information exchanged among the objects frequently remains unprotected from malicious attackers. The paper at hand proposes COSMOS (Collaborative, Seamless and Adaptive Sentinel for the Internet of Things), a novel sentinel to protect smart environments from cyber threats. Our sentinel shields the IoT devices using multiple defensive rings, resulting in a more accurate and robust protection. Additionally, we discuss the current deployment of the sentinel on a commodity device (i.e., Raspberry Pi). Exhaustive experiments are conducted on the sentinel, demonstrating that it performs meticulously even in heavily stressing conditions. Each defensive layer is tested, reaching a remarkable performance, thus proving the applicability of COSMOS in a distributed and dynamic scenario such as IoT. With the aim of easing the enjoyment of the proposed sentinel, we further developed a friendly and ease-to-use COSMOS App, so that end-users can manage sentinel(s) directly using their own devices (e.g., smartphone).

Because the Internet of Things (IoT) can provide a global service network through various smart devices, the IoT has been widely used in smart transportation, smart cities, smart healthcare, and factory automation through the Internet connection. With the large-scale establishment and 5G (fifth generation) wireless networks, the cellular Internet of Things (CIoT) will continue to be developed and applied to a wide range of applications. In order to provide a reliable application of CIoT, a safe and reliable network topology MECIoT is proposed in this study. To improve the reliability and fault-tolerant capability of the network proposed, the problem of reaching agreement should be revisited. Therefore, the applications in the system can still be performed correctly even if some processing units (PUs) in the system have failed. In this study, a new protocol is proposed to allow all normal PUs in MECIoT to reach an agreement with the minimum amount of data exchanges required and the maximum number of failed PUs allowed in MECIoT. In the end, the optimality of the protocol has been proven by mathematical method.

Internet of Things (IoT) is a set of connected smart devices providing and sharing rich data in real-time without involving a human being. However, IoT is a security nightmare because like in the early computer systems, security issues are not considered in the design step. Thereby, each IoT system could be susceptible to malicious users and uses. To avoid these types of situations, many approaches and techniques are proposed by both academic and industrial researches.DNA computing is an emerging and relatively new field dealing with data encryption using a DNA computing concepts. This technique allows rapid and secure data transfer between connected objects with low power consumption. In this paper, authors propose a symmetric cryptography method based on DNA. This method consists in cutting the message to encrypt/decrypt in blocks of characters and use a symmetric key extracted from a chromosome for encryption and decryption. Implemented on the embedded platform of a Raspberry Pi, the proposed method shows good performances in terms of robustness, complexity and attack resistance.
