An up-to-date guide to an overview of authentication in the Internet of Things (IoT)

The Internet of things (IoT) is the network of the countless physical devices that have the possibility to connect and exchange data. Among the various security requirements, authentication to the IoT is the first step to prevent the impact of attackers. IoT Security offers an important guide into the development of the many authentication mechanisms that provide IoT authentication at various levels such as user level, device level and network level.

The book covers a wide range of topics including an overview of IoT and addresses in detail the security challenges at every layer by considering both the technologies and the architecture used. The authors?noted experts on the topic?provide solutions for remediation of compromised security, as well as methods for risk mitigation, and offer suggestions for prevention and improvement. In addition, IoT Security offers a variety of illustrative use cases.

Over the last four decades, the Internet has evolved from peer-to-peer networking, world-wide-web, and mobile-Internet to the IoT. The IoT is a network consisting of animals, people, objects, physical devices, e.g., home appliance sensors, actuators, vehicles, digital machines, and other electronic devices that can collect and exchange data with each other without human intervention. The communication in IoT is either between people, between people and devices, and between devices themselves, also called machine-to-machine (M2M). Many benefits are realized through these interactions using a variety of technologies including sensors, actuators, controls, mobile devices and cloud servers as now people and things can be connected any time, any place, with anything and anyone, ideally using any path or network and any service.

This important book:

Offers an authoritative reference designed for use by all IoT stakeholders
