<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Courier New"">The
goal of this book is to present an information assurance (IA) approach to the
Internet of Things (IoT). From an information security/IA perspective, the IoT
must address the delivery of authentic, accurate, secure, reliable, timely
information, regardless of threat conditions, over the distributed and
heterogeneous computing and communication systems.<span style> </span>The IoT system may range from a hand-held
mobile unit to a centralized high performance information processing system
consisting of heterogeneous communication systems of both tactical (mobile,
wireless) and fixed (wired) communications infrastructures<a name="pgfId-457559"></a><a name="pgfId-457561"></a><a name="pgfId-457563"></a><a name="pgfId-457569"></a><a name="pgfId-457579"></a><a name="pgfId-457595"></a>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Courier New""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Courier New"">This
book provides a first in understanding how IA must integrate with IoT to
determine whether individual IoT computer/software components as well as whole
IoT information systems behave and interact only in ways that enable them to
resist or avoid intentional attempts to compromise their correct operations. In
order to make this determination, this book is needed to understand the variety
of IA techniques and technologies to the task of seeking out defects that have
the potential to be successfully targeted as exploitable vulnerabilities by an
attacker (i.e. hacker). Furthermore, this book will support IA and IoT industry
practitioners understanding of how to design and build IA into the IoT
appropriately given certain assumptions (e.g. wireless networks, use of smart
devices, etc.), even when such assumptions are included in the requirements.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><b style><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Objective of the Book</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Courier New"">The
objective of the book is to increase the visibility of current research and
emergent trends in IA theory, application, architecture and information
security in the IoT based on theoretical aspects and studies of practical
applications. The book will cover fundamental to advanced concepts necessary to
grasp IoT current IA issues, challenges and solutions as well as future trends
in IoT infrastructures, architectures and applications. The topics of the book
will include the IA protection of IoT systems and information in storage,
processing, or transit from unauthorized access or modification for M2M
devices, radio-frequency identification (RFID), wireless sensor networks, Smart
Grids and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems and IA
measures necessary to detect, protect and defend IoT information and
networks/systems to ensure their availability, integrity, authentication,
confidentiality, and non-repudiation; including providing for restoration of
IoT networks/systems by incorporating protection, detection, and reaction
capabilities. The focus areas include IoT computational and information
sciences, information processing, fusion and circuits, information protection
for IoT networks, IoT sensors and IoT mathematical sciences.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Courier New""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Courier New"">In
addition, the educational value of this book is to serve as an effective bridge
between academic research on theory, and science-practitioners work with IoT
technology. It is anticipated that this work will be a primary source of
reading for students wishing to become involved in IA for IoT research.
Additionally, the book is to gather the knowledge and experience of expert IA
and IoT researchers who work in the area of wireless networks, clouds, information
security architecture and IoT and elicit their knowledge in a collaborative
effort that leads to an edited book which will be one of the first of its kind.
The consecutive chapters of this book will present topics related to the actual
IA IoT research that work together to carry out coordinated functions. The
chapters will also present new information security theory and applications
devoted to the improvement and development of IoT networks. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><b style><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Target Audience</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Courier New"">The
target audience of this book will be composed of researchers, professionals and
students working in the field of wireless technologies, information system
theory, systems engineering, information security architecture and security
system design along with university professors and researchers involved in IA
and IoT related networking. Through a collection of edited essays from IA and
IoT industry practitioners and experts, the book will be written for graduate
students, researchers and academics who want to improve their understanding of
the latest developments of IA for the IoT. IA capabilities protect and defend
network availability, protect data integrity, and provide the ability to
implement effective computer network defense (CND) for the IoT. IA is
imperative so that its confidentiality, integrity, availability, and
non-repudiation can be ensured, and that users of that IoT data can be properly
identified and authenticated. Since these IoT networks presents unique IA
challenges, there will be a heavy reliance on the secure communication of urgent
and time-sensitive information over these IoT networks. This book will discuss
the IA needs of the IoT environment, highlighting key IA IoT issues and
identifying the associated security implications so that the general readers
can readily grasp the core ideas in this area of research.</span></p>
