The Internet of Things (IoT), in which sensing and actuation is embedded in everyday objects connected via the Internet, has the potential to support an increased level of intelligent, dynamic decision making cross a wide array of domains, such as smart cities, intelligent agriculture, and emergency response management. However, IoT systems are vulnerable to security threats, which limits their widespread adoption. In addition, in the future, systems will be challenged by the large amounts of IoT data communicated over the network and stored in cloud-based data centers. In this vision paper, outline a roadmap for innovative research on IoT security and performance, including the creation of secure communication protocols, IoT network threat detection, elastic computing algorithms, and computational offloading in IoT systems.
