The phrase "Internet of Things" (IoT) as a conceptual paradigm was introduced by consumer sensor expert and innovator Kevin Aston during a presentation to the company Procter and Gamble (P&G) in 1999. (Marr, 2015) He believes that unlike the twentieth century computers that "were brains without senses, " in the twenty-first century, , and can "sense things for themselves." (Gabbai, 2015) The European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) describes IoT as an "ecosystem where interconnected devices and services collect, exchange and process data... to adapt dynamically to a context... [and] is [linked]... to cyber-physical systems... [enables]... Smart Infrastructures by enhancing their quality of service provisioning." (ENISA, 2017)
