“…There are, however, limited attempts to apply lightweight cryptography solutions to a smart farming ecosystem [14]. Additionally, quantum-based cryptography for a secure end to end communication for IoT devices is under active investigation [63] as a futuristic solution. However, the feasibility of such solutions have not been evaluated in real world scenarios.…”

Internet of Things (IoT) and smart computing technologies have revolutionized every sphere of 21 st century humans. IoT technologies and the data driven services they offer were beyond imagination just a decade ago. Now, they surround us and influence a variety of domains such as automobile, smart home, healthcare, etc. In particular, the Agriculture and Farming industries have also embraced this technological intervention. Smart devices are widely used by a range of people from farmers to entrepreneurs. These technologies are used in a variety of ways, from finding real-time status of crops and soil moisture content to deploying drones to assist with tasks such as applying pesticide spray. However, the use of IoT and smart communication technologies introduce a vast exposure to cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities in smart farming environments. Such cyber attacks have the potential to disrupt the economies of countries that are widely dependent on agriculture. In this paper, we present a holistic study on security and privacy in a smart farming ecosystem. The paper outlines a multi layered architecture relevant to the precision agriculture domain and discusses the security and privacy issues in this dynamic and distributed cyber physical environment. Further more, the paper elaborates on potential cyber attack scenarios and highlights open research challenges and future directions. INDEX TERMS Security, privacy, smart farming, precision agriculture, cloud computing, edge computing, cyber physical systems, IoT, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, layered architecture.

“…The QC allows for more data crunch with quantum speed and the ability to run an entire set of inputs at the same time, thus getting instant results. Security experts are predicting that quantum cryptography will replace the existing security solutions in all digital systems that are prone to data hacking, including national defence, finance, self-driving vehicle industry, and the IoT, with the potential to be unhackable [130]. Quantum computers will become a technological reality sooner than expected, and it is vital to study the cryptographic schemes used by adversaries with access to a quantum computer.…”

Interconnecting "things" and devices that takes the form of wearables, sensors, actuators, mobiles, computers, meters, or even vehicles is a critical requirement for the current era. These inter-networked connections are serving the emerging applications home and building automation, smart cities and infrastructure, smart industries, and smart-everything. However, the security of these connected Internet of things (IoT) plays a centric role with no margin for error. After a review of the relevant, online literature on the topic and after looking at the market trends and developments, one can notice that there are still concerns with regard to security in IoT products and services. This paper is focusing on a survey on IoT security and aims to highlight the most significant problems related to safety and security in the IoT ecosystems. This survey identifies the general threat and attack vectors against IoT devices while highlighting the flaws and weak points that can lead to breaching the security. Furthermore, this paper presents solutions for remediation of the compromised security, as well as methods for risk mitigation, with prevention and improvement suggestions.

“…Grand challenges are, by definition, future needs of great consequence that someone (usually a Governmental agency) deems worthy of major national / international strategy and investment. Such grand challenge areas where optical fiber clearly do or could play enabling roles are in 5G communications and the Internet-of-things (IoT), 128,[272][273][274] namely, quantum communications, 275,276 gravitational wave observations, 277,278 exowatt lasers, 279,280 autonomous vehicles, 281 and optogenetics, [282][283][284] to name just a few.…”
