[*OVERVIEW*]

Wireless communication technologies are advancing at a high rate, enabling
real-time multimedia and sensor services provided by mobile broadband
Internet on devices creating a grid network of the Internet of Things
(IoT). The IoT paradigm and machine-to-machine (M2M) communication and
control are rapidly gaining ground in wireless telecommunication. IoT
platforms enable heterogeneous resource discovery and data sharing through
the formation of communication/virtual networks. Researchers and
science-practitioners are currently envision different properties for
future IoT architectures and the expectation are increasing about what the
current and future generation of IoT technologies can do to enable a wide
range of novel applications and organizational business models.



[
*OBJECTIVE] *The objective of the IJITCA is to identify and publish
high-quality cyber-assurance, cyber-security and information
assurance related research specifically towards the Internet of Things
(IoT). IoT devices and networks may range from hand-held mobile devices to
a centralized high performance cloud computing environment consisting of
heterogeneous communication systems of both tactical (mobile, wireless) and
fixed (wired) communications infrastructures. From an information security
perspective, the IoT must address the delivery of authentic, accurate,
secure, reliable, timely information, regardless of threat conditions, over
these distributed and heterogeneous computing and communication systems.
Cyber-assurance is the justified confidence that IoT networked systems are
adequately secured to meet operational needs, even in the presence of
cyber-attacks, failures, accidents and unexpected events. The IJITCA is
looking to increase the visibility of current research and emergent trends
in Cyber-Assurance IoT theories, applications, architectures and
information security based on theoretical aspects and studies of practical
applications.



*[TARGET AUDIENCE]*


   - The target audience of the IJITCA extends to researchers,
   professionals and students working in the field of cyber-assurance and the
   IoT. The journal is to gather the knowledge and experience of expert
   information security and IoT researchers to elicit knowledge in a
   collaborative effort leading to the improvement and development of
   security related research for the IoT. Additionally, the articles
   published will be written for those who want to gain and/or improve their
   understanding of the latest developments of  IoT.




*[RESEARCH TOPICS] *Recommended research topics include, but are not
limited to, the following:



   - Cyber-threats towards the IoT
   - Automated IoT vulnerability identification
   - Genetic algorithms used to control intelligent agents for IoT devices
   - Key distribution techniques in IoT networks
   - Synchronized cyber-attacks and countermeasures against the Smart Grid
   and/or SCADA systems
   - Modeling frameworks for Cyber-Physical Systems under cyber-attacks
   - Optimal network clustering for distributed procedures in
   Cyber-Physical Systems
   - Development of design methods, architectures, and implementations to
   minimize IoT power dissipation
   - IoT radar component technology, including wide-bandwidth/
   low-frequency antennas, high-power transmitters, high-speed signal
   processors, and analog-to-digital converters
   - Design tools for integrating RF devices and components, such as
   inductors and optics, on IoT processing chips
   - Methodology and techniques to improve the quality of attack
   indications or warnings for IoT systems
   - Secure 6LoWPAN signal processing for IoT systems
   - Dynamics of distributed IoT networks of embedded sensors and actuators
