We would like you to know that we are in the process of editing a forthcoming publication entitled *Security and Privacy in the Internet of Things* to be published by the Taylor & Francis Group, an international publisher of progressive academic research. The book will be SCOPUS indexed.We would like to request you to consider to contribute quality chapters in the proposed book so as to enrich its scholarly content.

IoT is a huge network of devices that are able to sense and hold sensitive information about their owner/surroundings. IoT has seen its journey from implausible and impossible to sustainable and tenable. Its rate of expansion into various grounds from agriculture to sports; personal health to intelligent traffic detection; waste management to smart homes is astonishing, dramatic, and unforeseen. With such vast adaptability and functionality, its security remains the biggest concern because, in contrast to the traditional networks, IoT faces huge vulnerabilities, some of which are inherent and others explicit. The existing security solutions cannot be implemented in IoT because of its unique characteristics. Therefore, there is a dire need to develop novel security procedures befitting IoT. Recent ransomware attacks like WannaCry and NotPetya have shattered the illusion that a back-up can protect an organization’s digital data from being hacked. If huge organizations were forced to pay ransom, one can only imagine the situation when a single individual is involved.

The main objective of this book is to dwell into all the security aspects of IoT, starting from the IoT data centric security to human centric security. This will also provide a publication avenue for researchers working on the security and privacy of Internet of Things.

Topics discussed will include (but are not limited to):

Intrinsic Security vulnerabilities of IoT devices

IoT algorithms, protocols and technologies along with their security issues.

IoT security architecture

IoT applications and their S&P concerns

Hardware level security of IoT devices

Loopholes in IoT security services

Cyber-attacks on IoT environments

Methodologies adopted by recent IoT attacks like Dyn, Mirai, Reeper etc

Solutions to deal with high level IoT attacks.

Security awareness of IoT

Security issues in authentication, authorization, confidentiality, integrity and availability of IoT

Fog architecture for securing IoT

Blockchain architecture for securing IoT

Blockchain based solutions for various security issues of IoT

Fuzzy logic based solutions for various security issues of IoT

Machine Learning and deep learning based solutions for various security issues of IoT

Open source tools for IoT security
