Security, privacy and trust in the IoT environment

摘要

I was pleased to review this book, edited by Zaigham Mahmood. The book is divided into two parts. The first part elaborates on different technologies and frameworks for security and privacy in the Internet of Things (IoT), whereas the second part explains privacy and trust in IoT with respect to two different applications: healthcare and the Internet of Vehicles (IoV). Chapter 1 describes SCADA-based security challenges and vulnerabilities. It does not provide detailed solutions. However, it is a good introduction to SCADA requirements. Chapter 2 explains energy-perceptive authentication in a virtual private network (VPN). Energy-aware techniques are useful for IoT devices because of their inherent resource-constrained environment. This chapter explains the mathematical model of the proposed system and elaborates its functionality. Chapter 3 explains security threats with radio-frequency identification (RFID)-based IoT Systems. The chapter describes different kinds of attacks and explains how delegating computation to a server or a cloud can mitigate these attacks. Chapter 4 is based on theoretical information related to cyber threats and intelligence. This chapter does not contain any descriptive examples; however, it is useful in understanding the requirements and modeling of cyber threats.
