Internet of Things: Integration and Security Challenges

Connected devices bring together sensors, networks, cloud services, and applications—but each connection introduces security questions. Internet of Things: Integration and Security Challenges explores how those risks develop and how security concerns intersect with the technologies now being integrated into IoT systems.

Edited by S. Velliangiri, Sathish A. P. Kumar, and P. Karthikeyan, this 13-chapter collection ranges from foundational IoT architecture and cryptography to applications in healthcare, industry, energy management, and cloud services.

Security across a connected ecosystem

The chapters consider IoT threats and security requirements alongside the practical difficulties of protecting devices, communications, data, and integrated services. Topics include privacy, authentication, integrity, protocols, and the challenges of bringing systems together safely.

Where IoT meets cloud, AI, and blockchain

Rather than treating IoT security as a single-device problem, the book looks at security in a wider technological environment. It addresses blockchain and IoT integration, cloud-based IoT models, and the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning to discover, monitor, and protect networked devices.

Applications with real security stakes

Healthcare chapters examine medical devices and wireless body-area network monitoring. Other contributions turn to industrial IoT, energy management, cloud privacy, and MQTT communication. Together, these subjects show how security concerns change with the setting—and why architecture, data handling, and communication choices matter.

A broad introduction for IoT researchers and students

This edited collection is aimed at researchers and students seeking an overview of IoT security and its intersections with cloud computing, AI, and blockchain. Its range of chapters can also help readers locate specific areas of interest, from cryptography and privacy to healthcare and industrial systems.

For readers studying the design and protection of connected systems, this volume offers a wide-ranging view of the challenges involved in integrating IoT technologies.
