IoT Security Issues looks at the burgeoning growth of devices of all kinds controlled over the Internet of all varieties, where product comes first and security second. In this case, security trails badly. This book examines the issues surrounding these problems, vulnerabilities, what can be done to solve the problem, investigating the stack for the roots of the problems and how programming and attention to good security practice can combat the problems today that are a result of lax security processes on the Internet of Things. This book is for people interested in understanding the vulnerabilities on the Internet of Things, such as programmers who have not yet been focusing on the IoT, security professionals and a wide array of interested hackers and makers. This book assumes little experience or knowledge of the Internet of Things. To fully appreciate the book, limited programming background would be helpful for some of the chapters later in the book, though the basic content is explained. The author, Alasdair Gilchrist, has spent 25 years as a company director in the fields of IT, Data Communications, Mobile Telecoms and latterly Cloud/SDN/NFV technologies, as a professional technician, support manager, network and security architect. He has project-managed both agile SDLC software development as well as technical network architecture design. He has experience in the deployment and integration of systems in enterprise, cloud, fixed/mobile telecoms, and service provider networks. He is therefore knowledgeable in a wide range of technologies and has written a number of books in related fields.

This book is designed to provide the reader with the fundamental concepts of cybersecurity and cybercrime in an easy to understand, self-teaching format. It introduces all of the major subjects related to cybersecurity, including data security, threats and viruses, malicious software, firewalls and VPNs, security architecture and design, security policies, Cyberlaw, and more. Features: Provides an overview of cybersecurity and cybercrime subjects in an easy to understand, self-teaching format; Includes discussion of information systems, cryptography, data and network security, threats and viruses, electronic payment systems, malicious software, firewalls and VPNs, security architecture and design, security policies, cyberlaw, and more.

Because of the rapid growth of cybercrime, cryptography and system security may be the fastest growing technologies in our culture today. This book describes various aspects of cryptography and system security, with a particular emphasis on the use of rigorous security models and practices in the design of networks and systems. The first portion of the book presents the overall system security concepts and provides a general overview of its features, such as object model and inter-object communications. The objective is to provide an understanding of the cryptography underpinnings on which the rest of the book is based. The book is designed to meet the needs of beginners as well as more advanced readers.

The monograph begins with a systematic introduction of chaos and chaos synchronization, and then extends to the methodologies and technologies in secure communication system design and implementation. The author combines theoretical frameworks with empirical studies, making the book a pratical reference for both academics and industrial engineers.
