These infrastructures are very effective in providing a fast response to the respective queries of the requesting modules, but their distributed nature has introduced other problems such as security and privacy. To address these problems, various security-assisted communication mechanisms have been developed to safeguard every active module, i.e., devices and edges, from every possible vulnerability in the IoT. However, these methodologies have neglected one of the critical issues, which is the prediction of fraudulent devices, i.e., adversaries, preferably as early as possible in the IoT. In this paper, a hybrid communication mechanism is presented where the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) predicts the legitimacy of the requesting device (both source and destination), and the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) safeguards the reliability of the transmitted data over a shared communication medium, preferably through a secret shared key, i.e., , and timestamp information. A device becomes trusted if it has passed both evaluation levels, i.e., HMM and message decryption, within a stipulated time interval. The proposed hybrid, along with existing state-of-the-art approaches, has been simulated in the realistic environment of the IoT to verify the security measures. These evaluations were carried out in the presence of intruders capable of launching various attacks simultaneously, such as man-in-the-middle, device impersonations, and masquerading attacks. Moreover, the proposed approach has been proven to be more effective than existing state-of-the-art approaches due to its exceptional performance in communication, processing, and storage overheads, i.e., 13%, 19%, and 16%, respectively. Finally, the proposed hybrid approach is pruned against well-known security attacks in the IoT.展开更多

Analyzing these data derived from sensors is an essential task and can reveal useful latent information besides the data. Since the Internet of Things contains many sorts of sensors, the measurement data collected by these sensors are multi-type data, sometimes contai- ning temporal series information. If we separately deal with different sorts of data, we will miss useful information. This paper proposes a method to dis- cover the correlation in multi-faceted data, which contains many types of data with temporal informa- tion, and our method can simultaneously deal with multi-faceted data. We transform high-dimensional multi-faeeted data into lower-dimensional data which is set as multivariate Gaussian Graphical Models, then mine the correlation in multi-faceted data by discover the structure of the multivariate Gausslan Graphical Models. With a real data set, we verifies our method, and the experiment demonstrates that the method we propose can correctly fred out the correlation among multi-faceted meas- urement data.展开更多

Many sensor types and data logging systems have been developed for this purpose over the years, but their widespread adoption in practical irrigation scheduling is still limited due to a variety of factors. Important factors limiting adoption of soil moisture sensing technology by farmers include high cost and difficulties in timely data collection and interpretation. Recent developments in open source microcontrollers (such as Arduino), wireless communication, and Internet-of-Things (IoT) technologies offer opportunities for reducing cost and facilitating timely data collection, visualization, and interpretation for farmers. Therefore, the objective of this study was to develop and test a low-cost IoT system for soil moisture monitoring using Watermark 200SS sensors. The system uses Arduino-based microcontrollers and data from the field sensors (End Nodes) are communicated wirelessly using LoRa radios to a receiver (Coordinator), which connects to the Internet via WiFi and sends the data to an open-source website (ThingSpeak.com) where the data can be visualized and further analyzed using Matlab. The system was successfully tested under field conditions by installing Watermark sensors at four depths in a wheat field. The system described here could contribute to widespread adoption of easy-to-use and affordable moisture sensing technologies among farmers.展开更多

Wireless sensor networks(WSNs) are core technologies for IoT to sense the real world. Due to the unattended and resource-constrained characteristics of WSNs, it is a great challenge to design an efficient and secure authentication scheme for communication between users and sensor nodes in WSNs. Recently, Hu et al proposed an authentication scheme for WSNs in an IoT environment. They claimed that their scheme could maximize the balance between security and computational cost as well as efficiency, and be resistant to many known attacks. However, we find that the scheme is difficult to resist stolen smart card attack and denial-of-service attack. Moreover, during the login and key negotiation phase of the scheme, Gateway(GWN) is unable to extract key values for subsequent computation based on the messages sent by the sensor nodes, which in turn leads to the inability to achieve mutual authentication and key agreement. To overcome these shortcomings, we propose an improved scheme. The proposed scheme enables real-time data exchange and transmission as well as secure communication between users and sensor nodes.展开更多

文摘Due to the overwhelming characteristics of the Internet of Things(IoT)and its adoption in approximately every aspect of our lives,the concept of individual devices’privacy has gained prominent attention from both customers,i.e.,people,and industries as wearable devices collect sensitive information about patients(both admitted and outdoor)in smart healthcare infrastructures.In addition to privacy,outliers or noise are among the crucial issues,which are directly correlated with IoT infrastructures,as most member devices are resource-limited and could generate or transmit false data that is required to be refined before processing,i.e.,transmitting.Therefore,the development of privacy-preserving information fusion techniques is highly encouraged,especially those designed for smart IoT-enabled domains.In this paper,we are going to present an effective hybrid approach that can refine raw data values captured by the respectivemember device before transmission while preserving its privacy through the utilization of the differential privacy technique in IoT infrastructures.Sliding window,i.e.,δi based dynamic programming methodology,is implemented at the device level to ensure precise and accurate detection of outliers or noisy data,and refine it prior to activation of the respective transmission activity.Additionally,an appropriate privacy budget has been selected,which is enough to ensure the privacy of every individualmodule,i.e.,a wearable device such as a smartwatch attached to the patient’s body.In contrast,the end module,i.e.,the server in this case,can extract important information with approximately the maximum level of accuracy.Moreover,refined data has been processed by adding an appropriate nose through the Laplace mechanism to make it useless or meaningless for the adversary modules in the IoT.The proposed hybrid approach is trusted from both the device’s privacy and the integrity of the transmitted information perspectives.Simulation and analytical results have proved that the proposed privacy-preserving information fusion technique for wearable devices is an ideal solution for resource-constrained infrastructures such as IoT and the Internet ofMedical Things,where both device privacy and information integrity are important.Finally,the proposed hybrid approach is proven against well-known intruder attacks,especially those related to the privacy of the respective device in IoT infrastructures.
文摘Soil moisture monitoring is one of the methods that farmers can use for irrigation scheduling. Many sensor types and data logging systems have been developed for this purpose over the years, but their widespread adoption in practical irrigation scheduling is still limited due to a variety of factors. Important factors limiting adoption of soil moisture sensing technology by farmers include high cost and difficulties in timely data collection and interpretation. Recent developments in open source microcontrollers (such as Arduino), wireless communication, and Internet-of-Things (IoT) technologies offer opportunities for reducing cost and facilitating timely data collection, visualization, and interpretation for farmers. Therefore, the objective of this study was to develop and test a low-cost IoT system for soil moisture monitoring using Watermark 200SS sensors. The system uses Arduino-based microcontrollers and data from the field sensors (End Nodes) are communicated wirelessly using LoRa radios to a receiver (Coordinator), which connects to the Internet via WiFi and sends the data to an open-source website (ThingSpeak.com) where the data can be visualized and further analyzed using Matlab. The system was successfully tested under field conditions by installing Watermark sensors at four depths in a wheat field. The system described here could contribute to widespread adoption of easy-to-use and affordable moisture sensing technologies among farmers.

文摘The Internet of things(IoT)has become a key infrastructure providing up-to-date and fresh information for policy analysis and decision-making of upper-layer applications.However,there are limited sensing and communication resources in IoT devices,which significantly affects the timeliness and freshness of the updated status.This work proposes two schemes,namely,the generation rate control and service rate reservation schemes,to improve the overall information freshness of multiple status update streams at the receiver.Specifically,using the recently proposed Age of Information(AoI)as the metric for evaluating information freshness,we characterized the overall information freshness,i.e.,the overall average AoI at the receiver for both schemes,by considering the urgency difference of status update and streams.Both schemes for status updates and streams,respectively,were formulated as two optimization problems.We proved that both problems are convex and the optimal generation and service rates for different streams are found by the standard convex optimization algorithm.Moreover,we proposed both approximate optimal generation and approximate optimal service rate for fast deployment in heavy and light load cases.Numerical results verify the theoretical findings and accuracy of the proposed approximate solutions,guiding the design and deployment of IoT.

文摘As an ingenious convergence between the Internet of Things and social networks,the Social Internet of Things(SIoT)can provide effective and intelligent information services and has become one of the main platforms for people to spread and share information.Nevertheless,SIoT is characterized by high openness and autonomy,multiple kinds of information can spread rapidly,freely and cooperatively in SIoT,which makes it challenging to accurately reveal the characteristics of the information diffusion process and effectively control its diffusion.To this end,with the aim of exploring multi-information cooperative diffusion processes in SIoT,we first develop a dynamics model for multi-information cooperative diffusion based on the system dynamics theory in this paper.Subsequently,the characteristics and laws of the dynamical evolution process of multi-information cooperative diffusion are theoretically investigated,and the diffusion trend is predicted.On this basis,to further control the multi-information cooperative diffusion process efficiently,we propose two control strategies for information diffusion with control objectives,develop an optimal control system for the multi-information cooperative diffusion process,and propose the corresponding optimal control method.The optimal solution distribution of the control strategy satisfying the control system constraints and the control budget constraints is solved using the optimal control theory.Finally,extensive simulation experiments based on real dataset from Twitter validate the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed model,strategy and method.
文摘The performance of Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs)is an important fragment of the Internet of Things(IoT),where the current WSNbuilt IoT network’s sensor hubs are enticing due to their critical resources.By grouping hubs,a clustering convention offers a useful solution for ensuring energy-saving of hubs andHybridMedia Access Control(HMAC)during the course of the organization.Nevertheless,current grouping standards suffer from issues with the grouping structure that impacts the exhibition of these conventions negatively.In this investigation,we recommend an Improved Energy-Proficient Algorithm(IEPA)for HMAC throughout the lifetime of the WSN-based IoT.Three consecutive segments are suggested.For the covering of adjusted clusters,an ideal number of clusters is determined first.Then,fair static clusters are shaped,based on an updated calculation for fluffy cluster heads,to reduce and adapt the energy use of the sensor hubs.Cluster heads(CHs)are,ultimately,selected in optimal locations,with the pivot of the cluster heads working among cluster members.Specifically,the proposed convention diminishes and balances the energy utilization of hubs by improving the grouping structure,where the IEPAis reasonable for systems that need a long time.The assessment results demonstrate that the IEPA performs better than existing conventions.

文摘The massive Internet of Things(IoT)comprises different gateways(GW)covering a given region of a massive number of connected devices with sensors.In IoT networks,transmission interference is observed when different sensor devices(SD)try to send information to a single GW.This is mitigated by allotting various channels to adjoining GWs.Furthermore,SDs are permitted to associate with anyGWin a network,naturally choosing the one with a higher received signal strength indicator(RSSI),regardless of whether it is the ideal choice for network execution.Finding an appropriate GW to optimize the performance of IoT systems is a difficult task given the complicated conditions among GWs and SDs.Recently,in remote IoT networks,the utilization of machine learning(ML)strategies has arisen as a viable answer to determine the effect of various models in the system,and reinforcement learning(RL)is one of these ML techniques.Therefore,this paper proposes the use of an RL algorithm for GW determination and association in IoT networks.For this purpose,this study allows GWs and SDs with intelligence,through executing the multi-armed bandit(MAB)calculation,to investigate and determine the optimal GW with which to associate.In this paper,rigorous mathematical calculations are performed for this purpose and evaluate our proposed mechanism over randomly generated situations,which include different IoT network topologies.The evaluation results indicate that our intelligentMAB-based mechanism enhances the association as compared to state-of-the-art(RSSI-based)and related research approaches.
文摘Nowadays, Internet of Everything has become a major trend, and Internet of Things(IoT) has emerged. Wireless sensor networks(WSNs) are core technologies for IoT to sense the real world. Due to the unattended and resource-constrained characteristics of WSNs, it is a great challenge to design an efficient and secure authentication scheme for communication between users and sensor nodes in WSNs. Recently, Hu et al proposed an authentication scheme for WSNs in an IoT environment. They claimed that their scheme could maximize the balance between security and computational cost as well as efficiency, and be resistant to many known attacks. However, we find that the scheme is difficult to resist stolen smart card attack and denial-of-service attack. Moreover, during the login and key negotiation phase of the scheme, Gateway(GWN) is unable to extract key values for subsequent computation based on the messages sent by the sensor nodes, which in turn leads to the inability to achieve mutual authentication and key agreement. To overcome these shortcomings, we propose an improved scheme. The proposed scheme enables real-time data exchange and transmission as well as secure communication between users and sensor nodes.

文摘Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs),as a crucial component of the Internet of Things(IoT),are widely used in environmental monitoring,industrial control,and security surveillance.However,WSNs still face challenges such as inaccurate node clustering,low energy efficiency,and shortened network lifespan in practical deployments,which significantly limit their large-scale application.To address these issues,this paper proposes an Adaptive Chaotic Ant Colony Optimization algorithm(AC-ACO),aiming to optimize the energy utilization and system lifespan of WSNs.AC-ACO combines the path-planning capability of Ant Colony Optimization(ACO)with the dynamic characteristics of chaotic mapping and introduces an adaptive mechanism to enhance the algorithm’s flexibility and adaptability.By dynamically adjusting the pheromone evaporation factor and heuristic weights,efficient node clustering is achieved.Additionally,a chaotic mapping initialization strategy is employed to enhance population diversity and avoid premature convergence.To validate the algorithm’s performance,this paper compares AC-ACO with clustering methods such as Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy(LEACH),ACO,Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO),and Genetic Algorithm(GA).Simulation results demonstrate that AC-ACO outperforms the compared algorithms in key metrics such as energy consumption optimization,network lifetime extension,and communication delay reduction,providing an efficient solution for improving energy efficiency and ensuring long-term stable operation of wireless sensor networks.
