“…The necessity of the end-to-end approach is best illustrated by the recently surging attacks against IoT devices [29], [30]. By securing the data end-to-end (and avoiding re-encryption in several points), the attack surface for successfully modifying and/or exfiltrating the patient data is greatly reduced: on one hand, we ensure that the Internet-exposed gateway cannot leak the data, and on the other hand, the data is less exposed to the networking and computational infrastructure of the cloud.…”

The transformation of the healthcare sector through the adoption of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) provides major benefits, including the ability to provide efficient and timely medical support based on accurate continuous monitoring data. However, the necessity to collect, store, and process private medical data in order to provide a patient with these healthcare services may clash with regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In this article, we introduce a complete key management framework for an IoMT patient monitoring system. The key management framework is composed of a platform key management layer which establishes adhoc, point-to-point secure channels between devices in the IoMT system, and of a data key management layer which provisions keys for end-to-end encryption of patient data. The cornerstone of the design is that it empowers the patient to enforce their own privacy rights by making them the legal owner of their own private medical data and that interested parties must be granted consent in order to access this data. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first time that consent granting of GDPR is hardwired into technology.

“…This may finally result in a distributed DoS attack against the target servers. 54 The IoT devices are usually designed with almost no security compared to other smart devices such as smart phones and computers. This danger was not recognized until 2016; therefore, more research is required to overcome this threat in the future.…”

Smart cities have brought significant improvements in quality of life and services to citizens and urban environments. They are fully enabled to control the physical objects in real time and provide intelligent information to citizens in terms of transport, healthcare, smart buildings, public safety, smart parking, and traffic system and smart agriculture, and so on. The applications of smart cities are able to collect sensitive information. However, various security and privacy issues may arise at different levels of the architecture. Therefore, it is important to be aware of these security and privacy issues while designing and implementing the applications. This paper highlights main applications of smart cities and addresses the major privacy and security issues in the architecture of the smart cities' applications. It also reviews some of the current solutions regarding the security and privacy of information-centric smart cities' applications and presents future research challenges that still need to be considered for performance improvement.

A large majority of cheap Internet of Things (IoT) devices that arrive brand new, and are configured with out-of-thebox settings, are not being properly secured by the manufactures, and are vulnerable to existing malware lurking on the Internet. Among them is the Mirai botnet which has had its source code leaked to the world, allowing any malicious actor to configure and unleash it. A combination of software assets not being utilised safely and effectively are exposing consumers to a full compromise. We configured and attacked 4 different IoT devices using the Mirai libraries. Our experiments concluded that three out of the four devices were vulnerable to the Mirai malware and became infected when deployed using their default configuration. This demonstrates that the original security configurations are not sufficient to provide acceptable levels of protection for consumers, leaving their devices exposed and vulnerable. By analysing the Mirai libraries and its attack vectors, we were able to determine appropriate device configuration countermeasures to harden the devices against this botnet, which were successfully validated through experimentation.
