Advancing the Security of Trustworthy Self-IoT

The Internet of Things (IoT) encompasses many aspects of our daily life, from connected homes and cities through connected vehicles and roads to devices that collaborate independently to achieve a specific purpose. Being an example of a large-scale self-organizing systems, the IoT should present imperative properties such as autonomy and trustworthiness. However, compared to classical self-organizing systems, IoT has intrinsic characteristics (wide deployment, resource constraints, uncertain environment, etc.) that open up several security challenges. These challenges cannot be solved by existing Autonomic and Organic Computing techniques and therefore new techniques adapted to self-organizing IoT, (that we call Self-IoT) peculiarities are needed. To this end, this paper studies related work in the area of self-organizing IoT, identifies and describes the key research challenges for trustworthy secure Self-IoT and proposes new and tailored existing solutions.
