Internet of Things (IoT) networks composed of a large number of sensors and actuators generate a huge volume of data and control commands, which should be enforced by strong data reliability. The end-to-end data reliability of IoT networks is an essential industrial enabler. Blockchain technology can provide strong data reliability and integrity within IoT networks. We designed a lightweight end-to-end blockchain network that applies to common IoT applications. Its enhanced modular architecture and lightweight consensus mechanism guarantee its practical applicability for general IoT applications. In addition, the proposed blockchain network is highly software compatible because it adopts the Hyperledger development environment. Directly embedding the proposed blockchain middleware platform in small computing devices proves its practicability.

Recently, an IoT(Internet of Things) application communication protocol is standardizing for connectivity between every things on Internet. In this paper, we design and implement an indoor resource control service using IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) CoAP (Constrained Application Protocol) based on Web. We present an indoor resource control architecture based on Web included functionalities of proxy and RD (Resource Directory) in a web server. Developed indoor resource control service supports to register low-powered and small-scale IoT nodes to web server using CoAP. This service allows users to control the indoor resources through a web browser using Web proxy with functionality of HTTP-CoAP converting.

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 data mining design incorporated with big data based cloud computing system is investigated for the nuclear terrorism prevention where the conventional physical protection system (PPS) is modified. The networking of terror related bodies is modeled by simulation study for nuclear forensic incidents. It is needed for the government to detect the terrorism and any attempts to attack to innocent people without illegal tapping. Although the mathematical algorithm of the study can't give the exact result of the terror incident, the potential possibility could be obtained by the simulations. The result shows the shape oscillation by time. In addition, the integration of the frequency of each value can show the degree of the transitions of the results. The value increases to -2.61741 in 63.125th hour. So, the terror possibility is highest in later time.

This study was to empirically analyze the mediating effect of burnout in the effect of job stress on job satisfaction of workers in the elderly welfare center after COVID-19. Through this, the purpose of this study was to improve the quality of social welfare services and to provide basic data that can increase job satisfaction of Elderly Welfare Center workers. The results of this study are as follows. First, job stress had a negative effect on job satisfaction. Second, burnout had a partial mediating effect on the effect of job stress on job satisfaction. Based on the results of this study, the following suggestions were made. First, the workload should be controlled to reduce the job stress of the workers in the elderly welfare center. Second, psychological and emotional support programs should be provided to reduce the burnout of the elderly welfare center workers.

Recently, according to the severity of air pollution, interest in air pollution is increasing. The IoT based fine dust monitoring system proposed in this paper allows the measurement and monitoring of fine dust, volatile organic compounds, carbon dioxide, etc., which are the biggest causes affecting the human body among air environmental pollution. The proposed system consisted of a device that measures atmospheric environment information, a server system for storing and analyzing measured information, an integrated monitoring management system for administrators and smart phone applications for users to enable visualization analysis of atmospheric environment information in real time. In addition, the effectiveness of the proposed fine dust monitoring system based on the Internet of Things was verified by using the response speed of the system, the transmission speed of the sensor data, and the measurement error of the sensor. The fine dust monitoring system based on the Internet of Things proposed in this paper is expected to increase user convenience and efficiency of the system by visualizing the air pollution condition after measuring the air environment information with portable fine dust measuring device.

Current research on Internet of Things (IoT) has primarily addressed the means to enhancing smart resource allocation, automatic network operation, and secure service provisioning. In particular, providing satisfactory security service in IoT systems is indispensable to its mission critical applications. However, limited resources prevent full security coverage at all times. Therefore, these limited resources must be deployed intelligently by considering differences in priorities of targets that require security coverage. In this study, we have developed a new application of Cognitive Radio (CR) technology for IoT systems and provide an appropriate security solution that will enable IoT to be more affordable and applicable than it is currently. To resolve the security-related resource allocation problem, game theory is a suitable and effective tool. Based on the Blotto game model, we propose a new strategic power allocation scheme to ensure secure CR communications. A simulation shows that our proposed scheme can effectively respond to current system conditions and perform more effectively than other existing schemes in dynamically changeable IoT environments.

This study deals with the analysis of a technology convergence of the IoT(Internet of Things) which is the key technology of the fourth industrial revolution. For this purpose, 77 patents with the Main Category CPC code G06Q50/10(Electronic Commerce Service) among the IoT patents filed after 2014 were analyzed. As a result of the Main-Sub Category analysis of CPC codes, the IoT has a strong relationship between "Electronic Commerce Service (G06Q50/10)" and G06Q(49 cases), H04L(40 cases), G08B(24 cases), G05B(21 cases), H04W(21 cases), H04N(16 cases), and so on. By using the methodology in this study, we can contribute the establishment of technology strategy and new value creation from the prediction of the possibility of the combination of technologies and to develop new patents among various new technologies.

Connectivity and knowledge are the main keywords of the IoT. In this paper, I analyzed how the two civilizations, Christianity and Islam, were connected through Mughal paintings and what result they have brought in the spread of knowledge. For that, I analyzed literature as well as paintings of those days. In terms of theme matter, Western painting was used as a means of strengthening the royal authority of the Mughal Emperor. In terms of style, perspective and shading from the Western Paintings began to be used in Mughal painting. Later, Christian symbols and themes were linked to absolute power of kingship, and further utilized them to develop into the concept of kingship = spirituality = divinity, creating an original art style that was unprecedented in the history of world painting. By analyzing the two disparate cultures in terms of 'connectivity' and 'knowledge' of the Internet of Things, such research could serve as a platform for future humanities research on the Internet of Things.
