Secure and Smart Internet of Things (IoT): Using Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence (AI) (River Publishers Series in Information Science and Technology)

By 2020, experts forecast that up to 28 billion devices will be connected to the Internet with only one third of them being computers, smartphones and tablets. The remaining two thirds will be other "devices"--sensors, terminals, household appliances, thermostats, televisions, automobiles, production machinery, urban infrastructure and many other "things"--which traditionally have not been Internet enabled.

This "Internet of Things" (IoT) represents a remarkable transformation of the way in which our world will soon interact. Much like the World Wide Web connected computers to networks, and the next evolution connected people to the Internet and other people, IoT looks poised to interconnect devices, people, environments, virtual objects and machines in ways that only science fiction writers could have imagined. In a nutshell, the Internet of Things (IoT) is the convergence of connecting people, things, data and processes. It is transforming our life, business and everything in between. Secure and Smart Internet of Things explores many aspects of the Internet of Things and explains many of the completed principles of IoT and the new advances in IoT including the use of Fog Computing, AI, and Blockchain technology.

The topics discussed in the book include:

- Internet of Things (IoT)
- Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
- Fog Computing
- Artificial Intelligence
- Blockchain Technology
- Network Security
- Zero-Trust Model
- Data Analytics
- Digital Transformation
- DDoS
- Smart Devices
