Security and Trust Management for the Internet of Things: An Rfid and Sensor Network Perspective

With emerging trends in information and communication technology (ICT), the wireless communication networks facilitate security in cyber‐physical networking systems (CPNS) using ubiquitous and pervasive devices that are connected. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a new paradigm of cyber‐physical systems that combines ubiquitous and pervasive components, Internet protocol (IP)‐based network, radio‐frequency identification (RFID) devices, cloud computing services, mobile ad hoc, and sensor networks into a single framework. Energy‐aware security and trust management schemes minimize the delay overhead and save energy in RFID devices, sensors, actuators, and smart devices. In the IoT, cloud‐enabled features create virtual environments that manage and control the resources in the IoT networks. Security keys define the mechanisms for access control, authentication, confidentiality, and non‐repudiation within IoT communication channels. The Web of Things (WoT) is the collection of heterogeneous devices, servers, and network configured to invoke standard web interface and communicate with each other.
