By 2020, experts forecast that up to 28 billion devices will be connected to the Internet, with only one third of them being computers, smartphones, smartwatches, and tablets. The remaining two thirds will be other “devices” – sensors, terminals, household appliances, thermostats, televisions, automobiles, production machinery, urban infrastructure and many other “things”, which traditionally have not been Internet enabled.This “Internet of Things” (IoT) represents a remarkable transformation of the way in which our world will soon interact. Much like the World Wide Web connected computers to networks, and the next evolution mobile devices connected people to the Internet and other people, IoT looks poised to interconnect devices, people, environments, virtual objects and machines in ways that only science fiction writers could have imagined. In a nutshell the Internet of Things (IoT) is the convergence of connecting people, things, data and processes; it is transforming our life, business and everything in between. Secure and Smart IoT explores many aspects of the Internet of Things and explains many of the complicated principles of IoT and the new advancements in IoT including using Fog Computing, AI and Blockchain technology.

"This book articulates and accentuates various AI algorithms, fresh innovations in the IoT and blockchain spaces explaining how suggested AI algorithms come in handy in producing predictive and prescriptive insights out of big data"--

This book provides basic concepts and deep knowledge about various security mechanisms that can be implemented in IoT through Blockchain technology. This book aids readers in gaining insight and knowledge about providing security and solutions to different challenges in IoT using Blockchain technology. This book primarily focuses on challenges to addressing the integration of the IoT with Blockchain with respect to potential benefits for IoT. This book gives descriptive analysis of Blockchain integrated with IoT applications and platforms for the development of IoT solutions along with possible topologies to that integration. Several application examples are included in a variety of industries.

The goal of this book is to explore various security paradigms such as Machine Learning, Big data, Cyber Physical Systems, and Blockchain to address both intelligence and reconfigurability in various IoT devices. The book further aims to address and analyze the state of the art of blockchain-based intelligent networks in IoT systems and related technologies including healthcare sector. AI can ease, optimize, and automate the blockchain-based decision-making process for better governance and higher performance in IoT systems. Considering the incredible progress made by AI models, a blockchain system powered by intelligent AI algorithms can detect the existence of any kind of attack and automatically invoke the required defense mechanisms. In case of unavoidable damage, AI models can help to isolate the compromised component from the blockchain platform and safeguard the overall system from crashing. Furthermore, AI models can also contribute toward the robustness and scalability of blockchain-based intelligent IoT networks. The book is designed to be the first-choice reference at university libraries, academic institutions, research and development centers, information technology centers, and any institutions interested in integration of AI and IoT.
