This composition describes an Internet of Things (IoT) system designed for applications typical to the construction industry, focusing on the protection of IoT devices against hardware attacks. An experimental test bed was designed, consisting of a heterogeneous set of sensors on five wireless nodes. The main goals of this work are to test the network’s functionality and performance before and after incorporation of a hardware security module. Observations were made regarding how the hardware security enhancements impacted the network’s efficiency. Specifically, the integration of the Hardware Security Module (HSM) has resulted in a 6.08% reduction in network latency; a 5.97% reduction in network connection time; and most notably, a reduction in encryption and decryption delay of 44.69% and 57.17%, respectively, over related techniques.
