IEEE Access Special Section Editorial: Security and Trusted Computing for Industrial Internet of Things: Research Challenges and Opportunities

Industrial IoT (IIoT) interconnects critical devices and sensors in critical infrastructure sectors with existing Internet of Things (IoT) devices and applications. Generally, IIoT deployment allows organizations and users to gain invaluable insights into industrial processes and achieve high-productivity gains while reducing cost. Their role will be increasingly important as we move toward Industry 5.0. Hence, it is also crucial to understand and address any security and privacy risks that may arise, including those discussed in the articles accepted in this Special Section.
