In smart home environment, certificate based signature technology is being studied by communication with Internet of Things(IoT) device. However, block - chain technology has attracted much attention because of the problems such as single - point error and management overhead of the trust server. Among them, Keyless Signature Infrastructure(KSI) provides integrity by configuring user authentication and global timestamp of distributed server into block chain by using hash-based one-time key. In this paper, we provide confidentiality by applying group key and key management based on multi - solution chain. In addition, we propose a smart home environment that can reduce the storage space by using Extended Merkle Tree and secure and efficient KSI-based authentication and communication with enhanced security strength.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a novel concept that allows a large number of objects to be connected to the Internet while also allowing them to be controlled remotely. The Internet of Things is extensive and has become an almost inseparable part of our daily lives. Users' personal data is frequently obtained by these linked gadgets and stored online. In recent years, the security of acquired data has become a major concern. As devices grow more linked, privacy and security concerns grow more pressing, and they must be addressed as soon as possible. IoT implementations and devices are particularly vulnerable to attacks that might adversely affect customer security and privacy, which might have an impact on their practical utility. The goal of this study is to bring attention to the security and privacy concerns that exist in IoT systems. To that purpose, the paper examines security challenges at each level of the IoT protocol stack, identifies underlying impediments and critical security requirements, and provides a rapid overview of available security solutions for securing IoT in a layered environment.

The Internet of Things allows you to connect everything around you to your network and make it easy to reach anytime, anywhere. The Internet of Things uses various devices such as smart devices and wireless sensors connected to the network. When any small information about command or result is exposed to the outside during communication between each terminal, there is a serious risk. The Internet has a characteristic that it is much weaker than general network in terms of security because it has limited hardware performance. In this paper, I propose an enhanced security architecture of Internet of Things considering the limitation of hardware.

Developing the TCP/IP standard IBA which is higher organization of IETF decided to attach the TCP/IP protocol stack to small things, such as sensor. This means small object is also considered as on of the communication node, it has symbolic meaning that expand smart object has all five layer. Under this background, IoT/WoT configure the intelligent network between objects based on the internet to communication was introduced. Things has own IP address on IoT environment and are smart object that a lot of people communicate over the internet on Application Layer. In other words, IoT is that smart object are commercialized space. According to the interest of IoT, IETF establish CoAP for use as IoT protocol. CoAP is expected that standard protocols created by things is connected to the Internet protocol that can be used within a constrained environment. Accordingly, in this paper, we proposed Middleware API that can manage and collect the data of objects that connected CoAP network.

Cultural contents are the most important factor in high speed and high quality data communication. High-quality content includes VR and AR technology, and a variety of high-quality content can be streamed over wireless mobile phones via smartphones. In addition, network and wired/wireless communication are inevitably required in an Internet of Things (IoT) environment in which things are connected to a wireless Internet. IoT is used in various network technologies such as 4G, 5G mobile communication, WIFI wireless LAN, Bluetooth and so on. It is a technology that can use the connection between things anytime, anywhere, and can be achieved in a wireless mobile communication environment. Therefore, in this paper, we study data error compensation estimation method which can reduce data error based on mobile communication channel environment analysis so that high quality contents can be serviced even in high speed mobile environment.

In the IoT environment, various things could be connected. Those connected things learn and operate themselves, by acquiring data. As human being, they have self-learning and self-operating systems. In the field of IoT study, therefore, the key issue is to design communication system connecting both of the two different types of subjects, human being(user) and the things. With the advent of the IoT environment, much research has been done in the field of UI design. It can be seen that research has been conducted to take complex factors into account through keywords such as multi-modality and interusability. However, the existing UI design method has limitations in structuring or testing interaction between things and users of IoT environment. Therefore, this paper suggests a new UI prototyping method. In this paper, the major analysis and studies are as follows: (1) defined what is the behavior process of the things (2) analyzed the existing IoT product (3) built a new framework driving personality types (4) extracted three representative personality models (5) applied the three models to the smart home service and tested UI prototyping. It is meaningful with that this study can confirm user experience (UX) about IoT service in a more comprehensive way. Moreover, the concept of the personality of things will be utilized as a tool for establishing the identity of artificial intelligence (AI) services in the future.

The tremendous growth of the Internet of things is unbelievable. Many IoT devices have emerged on the market over the last decade. This has made our everyday life easier inside our homes. The technology used at home has changed significantly over the past several decades, leading to what is known today as the smart home. However, this growth has also brought new challenges to our home security and privacy. With the smart home becoming more mainstream, cybersecurity issues have become a fundamental concern. The smart home is an environment where heterogeneous devices and appliances are interconnected through the Internet of Things (IoT) to provide smart services to residents. These services include home climate control, energy management, video on demand, music on-demand, remote healthcare, remote control, and other similar services in a ubiquitous manner. Smart home devices can be controlled via the Internet using smartphones. However, connecting smart home appliances to wireless networks and the Internet makes individuals vulnerable to malicious attacks. Remote access within the same environment or over the Internet requires an effective access control mechanism. This paper intends to shed light on how smart home devices are working as well as the type of security and privacy threats of the smart home. It also illustrated the types of authentication methods that can be used with smart home devices. In addition, a comparison of Smart home IoT-based security protocols was presented along with a security countermeasure that can be used in a smart home environment. Finally, a few open problems were mentioned as future research directions for researchers.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a new paradigm that is revolutionizing computing. It is intended that all objects around us will be connected to the network, providing "anytime, anywhere" access to information. This study introduces IoT with Kolb's learning style in order to enhance the learning experience especially for inclusive education for primary and secondary schools where delivery of knowledge is not limited to physical, cognitive disabilities, human diversity with respect to ability, language, culture, gender, age and of other forms of human differences. The article also emphasizes the role of learning style as a discovery process that incorporates the characteristics of problem solving and learning. Kolb's Learning Style was chosen as it is widely used in research and in practical information systems applications. A consistent pattern of finding emerges by using a combination of Kolb's learning style and internet of things where specific individual differences, learning approach differences and IoT application differences are taken as a main research framework. Further several suggestions were made by using this combination to IoT architecture and smart environment of internet of things. Based on these suggestions, future research directions are proposed.
