*Overview*

Internet of Things (IoT) is a rapidly developing research area cross
various technological fields including computer science, electronic
engineering, mobile and wireless communications, embedded systems, etc.
Many technologies serve as the building blocks of this new paradigm, such
as wireless sensor networks (WSN), RFID, cloud services, machine-to-machine
interfaces (M2M), and so on. IoT will allow billions of objects in the
physical world as well as virtual environments to exchange data with each
other in an autonomous way so as to create smart environments such as
automotive, healthcare, logistics, environmental monitoring, and many
others.



However, IoT introduces new challenges for the security of systems and
processes and the privacy of individuals. Protecting the information in IoT
is a complex and difficult task. IoT requires global connectivity and
accessibility which means anyone can access in anytime and anyway. It
results in that the number of attack vectors available to malicious
attackers might become staggering. Furthermore, the inherent complexity of
the IoT, where multiple heterogeneous entities located in different
contexts can exchange information with each other, further complicates the
design and deployment of efficient, interoperable and scalable security
mechanisms. The ubiquitous and clouding computing also makes the problem of
privacy leakage get urgent. As a result, there is an increasing demand for
development of new security and privacy approaches to guarantee the
security, privacy, integrity and availability of resources in IoTs.



This special issue aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on
Internet of Things Security and Privacy: discover the existing IoT security
challenges, introduce threats and attacker models that can be applied to
IoT architectures, design methods of secure IoT applications and
architectures, collect quality research proposals with a solid background
in both theoretical and practical aspects. Original, unpublished
contributions are solicited in all aspects of this discipline.



Suitable topics include but are not limited to the following in the context
of IoT:

Ÿ  Cyber security in the IoT

Ÿ  Secure policy, model and architecture for the IoT

Ÿ  Security and privacy for the IoT network and systems

Ÿ  Secure communication technologies for the IoT

Ÿ  Identity, authentication, authorization and accounting techniques for
the IoT

Ÿ  Threat and vulnerability modeling for the IoT

Ÿ  Lightweight cryptographic solutions for the IoT

Ÿ  Key agreement, distribution and management techniques for the IoT

Ÿ  Privacy and anonymity techniques for the IoT

Ÿ  Trust establishment, negotiation and management techniques for the IoT

Ÿ  Trusted network computing, operating systems, software and applications
for the IoT

Ÿ  Risk and reputation management techniques for the IoT

Ÿ  Secure network protocols and frameworks for the IoT

Ÿ  Secure access control technologies and frameworks for the IoT

Ÿ  Secure solutions for realization of IoT

Ÿ  Privacy-preserving IoT applications
