Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Internet of Things (IoT) underpins most industries and businesses and has now entered people’s homes. It allows the automation of tasks and monitoring of systems and people, and feeds the data needed by artificial intelligence applications. IoT is the cornerstone of Industry 4.0, Agriculture 4.0, eHealth, connected vehicles and smart cities, to cite a few examples.
However, this widespread adoption of IoT is accompanied by many questions about the security, ethics, and privacy of such IoT systems. Since they significantly impact our daily lives, it is of paramount importance to increase their trustworthiness.
This Special Issue is an ideal platform to report the more recent research advances in trust in support of IoT systems. We invite contributions with original research or review articles, which share new mechanisms, protocols, and architectures, present theoretical proposals, describe practical deployments, or identify new research opportunities.
Articles may include, but are not limited to, the following topics related to trustworthy IoT systems:
- Security and IoT;
- Ethics and IoT;
- Privacy and IoT;
- Ownership and control of IoT systems, including of generated data;
- Cybersecurity attacks of IoT;
- Risks and threats originated by IoT systems;
- Secure conception and deployment of IoT systems;
- Secure computing and IoT;
- Reliability of IoT systems, including of generated data;
- Blockchains and IoT;
- Regulations and compliance (e.g., the EU’s GDPR, NIS2, and Cybersecurity Resilience Act, or the USA’s IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act).
