Tidiane Sylla, Mohamed Aymen Chalouf, Francine Krief · 2022
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the several billion physical devices that are connected to the Internet and able to collect and share data on the real world. A great deal of research has been carried out to provide solutions adapted to security and privacy protection problems in the IoT. This chapter presents some flagship applications of the IoT. It describes the main architectures of the IoT that have been proposed by standardization bodies. The chapter presents the security and privacy protection services indispensable for securing the IoT. It then presents the idea of guaranteeing a context-aware level of service. This idea consists of adapting the security level of IoT applications depending on the user's global context. The IoT makes it possible to have a large number of diverse and varied applications such as smart cities, agriculture, logistics and industrial processes.
