Machine learning for internet of things data analysis: a survey

Mohammad Saeid Mahdavinejad, Mohammadreza Rezvan, Mohammadamin Barekatain et al. · 13 Oct 2017

Rapid developments in hardware, software, and communication technologies have facilitated the emergence of Internet-connected sensory devices that provide observations and data measurements from the physical world. By 2020, it is estimated that the total number of Internet-connected devices being used will be between 25 and 50 billion. As these numbers grow and technologies become more…

A blockchain future for internet of things security: a position paper

Mandrita Banerjee, Jung­hee Lee, Kim‐Kwang Raymond Choo · 1 Nov 2017

Internet of Things (IoT) devices are increasingly being found in civilian and military contexts, ranging from smart cities and smart grids to Internet-of-Medical-Things, Internet-of-Vehicles, Internet-of-Military-Things, Internet-of-Battlefield-Things, etc. In this paper, we survey articles presenting IoT security solutions published in English since January 2016. We make a number of observations, including the lack of publicly available…

Edge computing technologies for Internet of Things: a primer

Yuan Ai, Mugen Peng, Kecheng Zhang · 8 Jul 2017

With the rapid development of mobile internet and Internet of Things applications, the conventional centralized cloud computing is encountering severe challenges, such as high latency, low Spectral Efficiency (SE), and non-adaptive machine type of communication. Motivated to solve these challenges, a new technology is driving a trend that shifts the function of centralized cloud computing…

Visible light communication: Applications, architecture, standardization and research challenges

Latif U. Khan · 15 Aug 2016

The Radio Frequency (RF) communication suffers from interference and high latency issues. Along with this, RF communication requires a separate setup for transmission and reception of RF waves. Overcoming the above limitations, Visible Light Communication (VLC) is a preferred communication technique because of its high bandwidth and immunity to interference from electromagnetic sources. The revolution…

A roadmap for security challenges in the Internet of Things

Arbia Riahi Sfar, Enrico Natalizio, Yacine Challal et al. · 13 Apr 2017

Unquestionably, communicating entities ( object , or things ) in the Internet of Things (IoT) context are playing an active role in human activities, systems and processes. The high connectivity of intelligent objects and their severe constraints lead to many security challenges, which are not included in the classical formulation of security problems and solutions.…
