Secure and Intelligent IoT-Enabled Smart Cities

Smart cities are experiencing a rapid evolution. The integration of technologies such as 5G, Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and blockchain has ushered in transformative applications, enhancing the quality of urban life. However, this evolution comes with its own challenges, most notably in security and privacy. Secure and Intelligent IoT-Enabled Smart Cities addresses these concerns, exploring theoretical frameworks and empirical research findings. The book embarks on the foundational elements of the Internet of Things, delving into the convergence of IoT and smart city applications, elucidating the layered architecture of IoT, and highlighting the security issues inherent in IoT-enabled Smart Cities. This book pinpoints the challenges smart city infrastructures face and offers innovative and pragmatic solutions to fortify their security. This book targets professionals and researchers immersed in the dynamic field of secure and intelligent environments within IoT-enabled smart city applications. It is a valuable resource for executives grappling with the strategic implications of emerging technologies in smart healthcare, smart parking, smart manufacturing, smart transportation, and beyond. By offering insights into the paradigms of intelligent privacy preservation and the fusion of technologies like blockchain, artificial intelligence, and deep learning, the book equips its readers to navigate the complexities of ensuring a secure and intelligent future for IoT-enabled smart cities beyond 5G.
