IoT security (IoTSec) considerations, requirements, and architectures

This article looks at some of the challenges related to the deployment of the Internet Of Things (IoT), specifically to ascertain that security becomes an integral part of the technology rather than a bolted-on wrapper of limited efficacy. IoT security (IoTSec) is needed at all ‘layers’ of the IoT environment and may be specific to the IoT ‘layer’ in question.

Multimedia IoT systems and applications

A wide spectrum of applications based on Internet of things (IoTs) are recently emerging and have drawn considerable attention. IoT-based multimedia (IoTMM) applications have received relatively less attention. This article provides a review of the field of mobile IoTMM systems; it assesses the state of the art and then discusses some active areas of ongoing research, particularly issues related to video traffic prioritization, virtualization of network elements, mobility management, and security issues. A priority-based resource allocation strategy for IoTMM is also introduced. Overall, IoTMM presents challenges and opportunities for the stakeholders.
