Preface
Internet of Things (IoT) is empowered by various technologies used to detect, gather,
store, act, process, transmit, oversee, and examine information. The combination of
emergent technologies for information processing and distributed security, such as
cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and blockchain, brings new challenges
in addressing distributed security methods that form the foundation of improved
and eventually entirely new products and services. As systems interact with each
other, it is essential to have an agreed interoperability standard that is safe and valid.
This book aims at providing an introduction by illustrating state-of-the-art security
challenges and threats in IoT and the latest developments in IoT with cloud, AI,
and blockchain security challenges. This book provides a comprehensive guide to
researchers and students to design IoT-integrated AI, cloud, and blockchain proj-
ects. Various application case studies from domains such as science, engineering,
and healthcare are introduced along with their architecture and how they leverage
various technologies in cloud, AI, and blockchain. Moreover, more advanced topics
are presented, and it is interesting for researchers in the field of IoT who want an
overview of the next generation’s challenges in IoT-integrated technologies that may
occur in the coming years.
Chapter 1 provides an introduction to IoT architecture and relevant security pro-
tocols. The chapter also discusses integration management and security protocols.
Apart from this, the impending challenges in IoT security are also outlined with the
latest developments leading to plausible insights for solutions.
Chapter 2 covers the essential aspects of security challenges and threats in IoT.
Furthermore, the chapter discusses the three-layer architecture involving hardware
communication protocols and a layer of services and applications, security, integrity,
and hardware issues, challenges, threats, risks, and solutions involving the deploy-
ment of efficient privacy, control, authentication, and integration methods to con-
front various series of malicious cyberattacks.
Chapter 3 discusses the role of cryptography and its challenges in integrating
secured IoT products. This chapter also discusses the main challenges of cryptogra-
phy and future directions of cryptography in integrating secured IoT products.
Chapter 4 explains the convergence of significant paradigms like blockchain and
IoT that includes security and interconnectivity to modernize things. Moreover, it
discusses the challenges of implementing blockchain and its related security issues
in IoT.
Chapter 5 describes how artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML)
technology is being used to discover, manage, monitor, and protect all devices on
a network. Various ML methodologies are discussed, including centroid-based
clustering, hierarchical clustering, and classification techniques such as random
forest.
Chapter 6 identifies some of these specific issues and discusses various approaches
for mitigating security concerns. A classification system based on the Common
Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is presented. The technology applied is

wide-ranging, including the integration of multi-vendor systems, AI/ML and the use
of multiple database resources such as NVD/CVE and FDA.
Chapter 7 focuses on different security issues, requirements, and solutions for
IoT-based WBAN healthcare systems with a discussion of various security metrics.
Chapter 8 introduces the blockchain concepts and their working principles. It cov-
ers in detail the notions of public ledgers, immutability, and consensus algorithms
existing in a blockchain. It also analyzes the security flaws in IoT, which need to be
addressed to secure them for crucial applications. This chapter also focuses on vari-
ous security limitations of IoT and the usage of blockchain to overcome those issues
and make them favorable for real-time applications.
Chapter 9 presents the concept of the industrial IoT along with its security chal-
lenges and applications. It covers the existing security issues in the area of cyber-
physical systems and the evolution of industrial IoT with a secure design pattern.
Chapter 10 discusses the challenging factors in the cloud IoT integration model.
In Chapter 11, a homomorphic encryption scheme is described to authenticate
the data from IoT devices to the cloud securely. This algorithm acts as privacy-
preserving outsourced storage and computation in the cloud IoT model.
Chapter 12 describes the system to monitor the in-out activities of visitors to
maintain the security of the laboratory and solve the occupancy detection problem.
The practical implementation of MQTT in IoT applications is discussed in
Chapter 13. It is used to reduce transport overhead, protocol exchanges with mini-
mized information, and network traffic, and it includes a mechanism to notify inter-
ested parties when an abnormal disconnection occurs.
