Trust-Based Communication Systems For Internet Of Things Applications

With an enormous range of applications, Internet of Things (IoT) has magnetized industries and academics from everywhere. IoT facilitates communication and operations through Internet access to all the devices with computing capabilities. Many applications can be applied in IoT, such as intelligent transportation systems, real-time medical monitoring, intelligent appliances and intelligent agriculture and smart grid. Internet of Things makes a smart communication process between objects and their environment over the internet. IoT creates a world where smart objects and services interact autonomously, and, therefore, a central issue is whether the service provided by a selected IoT device is trustworthy. Further, most IoT devices are mobile and will connect to the Internet on and off, depending on the location they roam into as well as the energy status of individual IoT devices. Taking into account the dynamic heterogeneous characteristic of interconnected devices in IoT, it demands for an effective and efficient trust-based IoT communication system that can scale to a large number of heterogeneous devices in IoT systems. In heterogeneous and complex environments, those resources must trust each other. On-Off attacks threaten the IoT trust security through nodes performing good and bad behaviors randomly, to avoid being rated as a menace.

The Major objective of this edited book is to deliver technologies to improve trust and eliminate malicious actors in participatory exchanges throughout communication using IOT devices such that these methods should not only be able to identify bad actors but also to improve communication and trust in the environment without violating object privacy. Whether as a reference for the engineer or scientist or a textbook for the student, this is a must-have for any library.
