Broadly, Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm represents an evolving technology which tries to reach its main goal, where each and every `thing' (i.e. device) can be: (i) connected through a network and (ii) controllable from any remote station. Activity sectors like intelligent manufacturing, farms, e-agriculture, real-time traffic controls, environment monitoring, camera security systems, health-care, etc., are going to be governed by the IoT paradigm as backbone in the near future. In this context, ensuring security during `thing' operation and information exchange becomes a critical task. Therefore, secured IoT applies equally to: (i) IoT device-to-device communication, (ii) IoT sensing/actuating, and (iii) IoT information exchange. In this paper, a brief literature survey regarding the research pointing out the Hardware Security (HS) for IoT is presented. Furthermore, in the paper, a short analysis regarding the existing trends for measurements and instrumentation is reported.
