Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the promising technologies that has attracted a lot of attention in both industrial and academic fields these years. It aims to integrate seamlessly both physical and digital worlds in one single ecosystem that makes up a new intelligent era of Internet. This technology offers a huge business value for organizations and provides opportunities for many existing applications such as energy, healthcare and other sectors. However, as new emergent technology, IoT suffers from several security issues which are most challenging than those from other fields regarding its complex environment and resources-constrained IoT devices. A lot of researches have been initiated in order to provide efficient security solutions in IoT, particularly to address resources constraints and scalability issues. Furthermore, some technologies related to networking and cryptocurrency fields such as Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Blockchain are revolutionizing the world of the Internet of Things thanks to their efficiency and scalability. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive top down survey of the most recent proposed security and privacy solutions in IoT. We discuss particularly the benefits that new approaches such as blockchain and Software Defined Networking can bring to the security and the privacy in IoT in terms of flexibility and scalability. Finally, we give a general classification of existing solutions and comparison based on important parameters.

“…This mechanism does not provide security solution to a small smart home wherein small number of embedded devices are connected to each other. Bull et al [25] proposed a gateway allowing centralized control and configuration using SDN (Software Defined Networking) in consideration of the means to provide flexible and secure communication for the rapidly increasing number of IoT-based devices. The proposed gateway relies on centralized methodology which can be result in the problem of a single point of failure.…”

The functions and roles of smart homes are continuously developing due to recent developments in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Internet of Things (IoT) [1]. According to global market research firm Gartner, the number of smart home devices is projected to grow to 25 billion units by 2020. According to data from Stratecast, the growth rate of the global smart home market is estimated to exceed $7 billion by 2025 [2]. Smart Home refers to a private home that sends and receives data in real-time. It provides automated and intelligent services through various home devices such as TVs, lights, and refrigerators. These machines are part of the home-based communication system between devices and other environments without human intervention

“…Organizing the sensor nodes into clusters minimizes the number of control message exchanges and increases security. In our clustering solution, called SDCSN, we assume that each cluster head is an SDN controller and the other nodes can be in one of the following states (as defined in previous studies): simple node (SN) or gateway node (GN). The cluster head of the cluster is an SDN controller, called (SDNCH), defined in Gonzalez et al and illustrated Figure .…”

“…There are many studies of network security solutions based on the SDN techniques, installing security policies and rules in the OpenFlow switches. These implemented solutions use traditional network security tools such as firewalls, IDS, or IPS . Our purpose is to achieve more security in each cluster, as defined in Gonzalez et al In a traditional network, the security is often only at the perimeter, with a firewall or access control system, and it is very difficult to control the security of the traffic between devices inside the network.…”

With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), more and more devices can establish a connection with local area networks and use routing protocols to forward all information to the sink. But these devices may not have enough resources to execute a complex routing protocol or to memorize all information about the network. With proactive routing protocols, each node calculates the best path, and it needs enough resources to memorize the network topology.With reactive routing protocols, each node has to broadcast the message to learn the right path that the packets must follow. In all cases, in large networks such as IoT, this is not an appropriate mechanism. This paper presents a new software-defined network (SDN)-based network architecture to optimize the resource consumption of each IoT object while securing the exchange of messages between the embedded devices. In this architecture, the controller is in charge of all decisions, and objects only exchange messages and forward packets among themselves. In the case of large networks, the network is organized into clusters. Our proposed network architectures are tested with 1000 things grouped in five clusters and managed by one SDN controller. The tests using OpenDayLight and IoT embedded applications have been implemented on several scenarios providing the ability and the scalability from dynamic reorganization of the end-devices. This approach explores the network performance issues using a virtualized SDN-clustered environment which contributes to a new model for future network architectures. KEYWORDScomputer network management, distributed computing, Internet of Things, network topology, software-defined networking, wireless sensor networks INTRODUCTIONWith the Internet of Things (IoT), we have more and more devices connected to our local area network. Many of these things are only sensor devices to control humidity or the temperature of a room or to measure atmospheric pressure to predict the weather. Each of these devices is connected to the local area network of an enterprise or on the metropolitan network of a town. Sometimes, these things involve remote control as with thermostats or exchange of information between themselves as with smoke detection systems. Our goal with each thing is not only to route information on a network but also to execute orders of some kind. With the new paradigm of software-defined networking (SDN), 1,2 being one of the major research subjects obtaining support from a large number of major industries, we can decouple the control Int J Commun Syst. 2020;33:e4309.wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/dac
