“…For instance, many of such applications would leverage the system's contextual feedback to provide users with sensing and proactive recommendations. However, many IoT service providers built their IoT solutions using non-interoperable hardware, context-specific features, and unique architectures that produce fragmented deployments rather than collaborative ones [110]. While safeguarding data communication across devices and platforms is critical to overall system security, non-interoperable devices do not allow for secure and efficient data communication.…”

A city is a large human settlement that serves the people who live there, and a smart city is a concept of how cities might better serve their residents through new forms of technology. In this paper, we focus on four major smart city domains according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs: smart utility, smart transportation, smart homes, and smart healthcare. Numerous IoT applications have been developed to achieve the intelligence that we desire in our smart domains, ranging from personal gadgets such as health trackers and smart watches to large-scale industrial IoT systems such as nuclear and energy management systems. However, many of the existing smart city IoT solutions can be made better by considering the suitability of their security strategies. Inappropriate system security designs generally occur in two scenarios: first, system designers recognize the importance of security but are unsure of where, when, or how to implement it; and second, system designers try to fit traditional security designs to meet the smart city security context. Thus, the objective of this paper is to provide application designers with the missing security link they may need in order to improve their security designs. By evaluating the specific context of each smart city domain and the context-specific security requirements, we aim to provide directions on when, where, and how they should implement security strategies and the possible security challenges they need to consider. In addition, we present a new perspective on security issues in smart cities from a data-centric viewpoint by referring to the reference architecture, the Activity-Network-Things (ANT)-centric architecture. This architecture is built upon the concept of "security in a zero-trust environment", to achieve end-to-end data security. By doing so, we reduce the security risks posed by new system interactions or unanticipated user behaviors while avoiding the hassle of regularly upgrading security models.

“…For instance, a coffee machine starts pouring coffee on a cup if the adapted light senses a motion in the living room, and there is a collaborative integration between these devices. ThingsDriver (Elewah et al, 2022) is a beginning to have A Unified Interoperable messaging protocol that, if adopted by cooperates, can pave the way to have a collaborative environment. • Privacy: All these smart home devices become remotely accessible through user-friendly user interfaces such as a smartwatch or phone.…”

“…Delivering the data to the cloud layer requires standard methods to facilitate the collaboration between different IoT systems. Therefore, the edge component contains a Unified Interoperable Driver for IoT (UIDI) [16]. The UIDI structures the data in a standard format that other IoT systems can easily utilize and consume without extra processing.…”

Today, the world has become crowded with sensing devices that are connected to the Internet, making the Internet of Things (IoT) a mainstream paradigm. A decade earlier, the Public Sensing term appeared to utilize a limited network of sensing devices that collect information from the surrounding for a specific purpose. The limited connectivity, heterogeneity of the sensing devices, and the immaturity of technologies hindered the widespread implementation of Public Sensing as a Service (PSaaS) in real-world scenarios. To date, there is no clear definition for Public Sensing, and it is frequently confused with other terms such as mobile crowdsensing and crowdsourcing. In this paper, we redefine Public Sensing in the context of the widespread IoT and propose a new architecture for Public Sensing as a Service. The conclusion of the discussion demonstrates that the proposed PSaaS holds a considerable promise for public adoption and will offer real-time smart services to inform decision-making and improve quality of life.
