The Internet is the most important technology created, like a fabric woven into each of our lives. Over the years the internet has evolved into the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling the inter-connecting of things and the exchange of data between them. The recent boom in the field of IoT has resulted in ample amounts of data being generated and exchanged between layers of the IoT architecture. This has exposed a few Gray areas which need to be seriously addressed, security is the most important and challenging one among them, as it plays a central role and cannot be compromised. Vulnerabilities within an IoT infrastructure are found to be rising in number and continue to get exploited, thus designing a secure IoT architecture is the need of the hour. Our work mainly focuses on analyzing the most widely used network communication protocols for IoT and the vulnerabilities these protocols possess. Furthermore, including the common mitigation techniques to overcome these vulnerabilities and make these protocols safer. Lastly, a few points regarding the essentials of IoT security have been incorporated within the chapter, in addition to a real-time example of how to overcome the vulnerabilities within a home surveillance system and make it completely secure.

LabVIEW, which stands for Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench, is used to connect the board to the computer. LabVIEW is a graphical language that allows the user and the board to interact directly. The data is gathered from the primary source, 5 statistical measures are implemented on the data, graphs are plotted according to the time stamp for a male subject (age range: 20–25), and the studied data is summarized to make important conclusions. A dataset was then created using the windowing technique to train the classification model and prediction results were analyzed by implementing different prediction algorithms like K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Support Vector Machines (SVM), Decision Trees. The accuracy of predicting the actions of the user based on the electrical activity of the muscle tissues has been formulated as results and necessary conclusions are drawn to show that KNN algorithm bears the highest accuracy in prediction with an accuracy of 95%.

In the imminent generations, the Internet of Things (IoT) will have a vital role in ‘Networking’. There are a lot of subscribing/publish protocols used in IoT like MQTT, AMQP, XMPP, HTTP etc., but every protocol used here will not have the same features required for the Internet of Things. This paper helps you to find which is the best and efficient protocol through the use cases and the Big Data analysis used in IoT.

In the imminent generations, the Internet of Things (IoT) will have a vital role in ‘Networking’. There are a lot of subscribing/publish protocols used in IoT like MQTT, AMQP, XMPP, HTTP etc., but every protocol used here will not have the same features required for the Internet of Things. This paper helps you to find which is the best and efficient protocol through the use cases and the Big Data analysis used in IoT. To choose the best protocol, it should be used in the real-world application and analyzed through some statistical measurements, as like in this study two use cases are taken to experiment with the protocol. Light-weight MQTT (Message queuing telemetry transport) protocol is vastly used in IoT, So MQTT protocol is used to subscribe/publish in these use cases, using the use cases measurements (speed of the transmission of messages and throughput of the message transmission) are measured and the security systems are either explained. Mainly for the use cases like home automation and vehicular network, there are a huge number of resources like sensors are used, these sensors collect massive data, so for storing these massive data big data is used. This paper majorly focuses on the use cases of MQTT protocol in IoT, the advantages of using MQTT protocol and big data analytics used in IoT.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a two-decade-old technology that allows the interconnection of various cyber-physical objects located anywhere in the world over the internet. A cyber-physical object is an inanimate object with the ability to connect itself to the internet and communicate with other similar objects. This communication is enabled by communication protocols that bridge the gap between hardware devices and the user by ensuring secure communication with optimum efficiency. As the number of IoT devices is increasing exponentially every year with the current estimation of more than 35 billion IoT devices according to a study conducted by findstack.com, there is a need for a lightweight and highly secure communication protocol for IoT devices. This creates a need for handling all the dynamic data exchanges in real-time. Hence, Big Data and IoT technologies are often proposed together for processing and analyzing data streams. Incorporating Big Data analytics in IoT applications enables real-time information transfer, data monitoring and processing easily. To facilitate efficient communication in IoT networks, the Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) comes into the picture which is a low power consuming routing protocol that operates on IEEE 802.15. This paper aims to encrypt the RPL Protocol using cryptographic algorithms and compare the results with a non-encrypted RPL Protocol using Cooja Simulator so that the data is securely communicated for Big Data analysis. The (Secure Hash Algorithm) SHA3 algorithm had been used to encrypt the sink nodes of the RPL protocol and the parameters such as average power consumption, network graph, latency is analyzed and compared. The results of this experiment show a considerable drop in latency and power consumption after deploying cryptographic encryption.

Due to the emergence of the novel human coronavirus disease (COVID-19), human life is jeopardized. Normal livelihood and economy have been disrupted due to safety concerns associated with the viral dissemination. The pandemic has instilled fear in people due to the lack of understanding and the impact an infection could have. In addition, laboratory experiments focused on coronavirus infection dynamics are labor intensive, costly and time consuming. A viable alternative to wet-lab experimentation is the in silico simulations, which enable difficult tasks to be efficiently and accurately performed by both professionals and citizens alike. This would enable people to gain a simpler understanding of the coronavirus dissemination and be informed timely, to take the preventive measures required. The application described herein was designed to simulate the spread of Covid-19 on different surfaces and showcase its longevity. A case study was also conducted by using this application.

According to CNN-Health and as of June 2021, authorities have claimed over 174.4 million coronavirus cases and 3.8 million deaths since China reported the first case in December 2019. The objective of the project “MedBuddy” is to reduce the number of coronavirus cases among the medical staff and doctors when they must tend to the patients and administering the medications who are isolated in the general ward. This objective is achieved by designing and developing a Bluetooth controlled robot car built using the Arduino Uno microcontroller and equipped with a spare smartphone whose camera will be used to provide live feed to the application developed using MIT App Inventor. The robot is equipped with tray that allows the medicines to be delivered with an ease to the patients from a safe distance. This will result in making the timely delivery of medicines for the patients and will also reduce the unnecessary contact with the patients, minimizing the risk for medical personnel.
