The IoT Architect’s Guide to Attainable Security and Privacy

English | 2020 | ISBN: 978-0815368168 | 330 Pages | PDF, EPUB | 26 MB

This book describes how to architect and design Internet of Things (loT) solutions that provide end-to-end security and privacy at scale. It is unique in its detailed coverage of threat analysis, protocol analysis, secure design principles, intelligent loT’s impact on privacy, and the effect of usability on security. The book also unveils the impact of digital currency and the dark web on the loT-security economy. It’s both informative and entertaining.

We wrote this book not only to be a valuable security and IoT architectural resource for you but also to be an enjoyable read. With that in mind, we’ve added personal experiences, scenarios, and examples designed to draw you in and keep you engaged.

Who Will Benefit Most from This Book?
If you have a vested interest in IoT systems that preserve security and uphold privacy, this book is for you. The primary beneficiaries are IoT architects (security, system, software, or solution architects), and IoT strategic marketing. Executive managers and policy makers will also benefit from its insights.
