Security Challenges Impacting Communications in Internet of Things and Internet of Intelligence

These days, people want the world in their hands. Some technologies like ambient intelligence gathering satisfy the maximum need of a smart world, but they are not tightly coupled with the Internet. This naturally makes the people need another technology extension. Internet of Things (IoT) is an ideal emerging technology to influence the Internet and communication technologies. Simply, ‘Internet of Things’ connects living and non-living things ‘through the Internet’. Traditionally, in the object-oriented paradigm, everything in the world is considered as an object, but in the IoT paradigm, everything in the world is considered as a smart object and allows them to communicate with each other through Internet technologies physically or virtually. IoT refers to the use of standard Internet protocols for interaction between humans to things and things to things in an embedded network. Although the security needs are well-recognised, it is still not fully clear how existing IP-based security protocols can be applied to this new setting. In this chapter, we discuss the various security challenges in an IoT system. This chapter also provides standard IP-based security protocols and its implementation model, which can be used as a security system for IoT. This chapter also provides the convergence of IoT, artificial intelligence, and Intelligent Agents leading to what is known as the Internet of Intelligence.
