Objectives of the Book

    The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a network of tiny devices linked to the Internet or other communication networks. IoT is gaining popularity since it opens new possibilities for developing many modern applications such as smart cities, smart agriculture, smart healthcare services, etc. The worldwide IoT market surpassed $100 billion in sales for the first time in 2017, and forecasts show that this number might reach $1.6 trillion by 2025. However, as IoT devices grow more widespread, threats, privacy, and security concerns are growing. The massive volume of data exchanged highlights significant challenges to preserving individual privacy and securing shared data. Therefore, securing the IoT environment becomes difficult for research and industry stakeholders. This book contains contemporary research that outlines and addresses security, privacy challenges, and decision-making in IoT environments. It compiles a collection of the most up-to-date research to offer a comprehensive overview of security and privacy-preserving approaches in IoT environments.

Suggested topics include (but are not limited to) the following methods:
