Topic: Security, Privacy, and Trust in the Internet of Things

The Internet of Things (IoT) can connect a large number of smart devices and the market is predicted to increase to over $2.4 trillion annually by 2027. IoT devices are widely applicable in many application scenarios of human daily life and the collection of public and personal information. IoT has the potential to offer innovative solutions to real-time such as aging populations, climate change, healthcare, battlefield monitoring, etc. The heterogeneous nature of the IoT as well as the computational constraints of many of the building blocks of the IoT make security, privacy and trust a challenging problem to solve on the one hand, while security, privacy and trust play a critical role for most if not all applications of IoT in domains such as surveillance, healthcare, security, transport, food safety, manufacturing, logistics and supply chain management. Without effective solutions for security, privacy and trust, reliable data fusion and mining, qualified services with context-aware intelligence and enhanced user acceptance and experience cannot be achieved.
