Sustainable Secure Internet of Things (SS-IoT)

The development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology has been and remains a primary focus of the academic investigation. Smart cities rely primarily on IoT networks, and one of the most important challenges facing the development of smart solutions for these cities is cyber-attacks. Future communications and end devices should be well-secured, economical, energy-efficient, and eco-friendly. Thus, IoT deployment must be supported with lightweight cryptography techniques. This paper sheds light on a novel research trend, the Sustainable Secure Internet of Things (SS-IoT) that discusses IoT challenges regarding sustainability and security. In addition, current SS-IoT-related projects are touched on and presented. This study helps researchers and developers interested in technology and environmental engineering.
