<span lang="EN-US">The internet of things (IoT) is the communication of everything with anything else, with the primary goal of data transfer over a network. Raspberry Pi, a low-cost computer device with minimal energy consumption is employed in IoT applications designed to accomplish many of the same tasks as a normal desktop computer. Raspberry Pi is a quad-core computer with parallel processing capabilities that may be used to speed up computations and processes. The Raspberry Pi is an extremely useful and promising technology that offers portability, parallelism, low cost, and low power consumption, making it ideal for IoT applications. In this article, the authors provide an overview of IoT and Raspberry Pi and research on IoT applications using Raspberry Pi in various fields, including transportation, agriculture, and medicine. This article will outline the details of several research publications on Raspberry Pi-based IoT applications.</span>

Image authentication approaches have gotten a lot of interest recently as a way to safeguard transmitted images. Watermarking is one of the many ways used to protect transmitted images. Watermarking systems are pc-based that have limited portability that is difficult to use in harsh environments as military use. We employ embedded devices like Raspberry Pi to get around the PC’s mobility limitations. Digital image watermarking technology is used to secure and ensure digital images’ copyright by embedding hidden information that proves its copyright. In this article, the color images Parallel Robust watermarking algorithm using Quaternion Legendre-Fourier Moment (QLFM) in polar coordinates is implemented on Raspberry Pi (RPi) platform with parallel computing and C++ programming language. In the host image, a binary Arnold scrambled image is embedded. Watermarking algorithm is implemented and tested on Raspberry Pi model 4B. We can combine many Raspberry Pi’s into a ‘cluster’ (many computers working together as one) for high-performance computation. Message Passing Interface (MPI) and OpenMP for parallel programming to accelerate the execution time for the color image watermarking algorithm implemented on the Raspberry Pi cluster.

Image authentication techniques have recently received a lot of attention for protecting images against unauthorized access. Due to the wide use of the Internet nowadays, the need to ensure data integrity and authentication increases. Many techniques, such as watermarking and encryption, are used for securing images transmitted via the Internet. The majority of watermarking systems are PC-based, but they are not very portable. Hardwarebased watermarking methods need to be developed to accommodate real-time applications and provide portability. This paper presents hybrid data security techniques using a zero watermarking method to provide copyright protection for the transmitted color images using multi-channel orthogonal Legendre Fourier moments of fractional orders (MFrLFMs) and the advanced encryption standard (AES) algorithm on a low-cost Raspberry Pi. In order to increase embedding robustness, the watermark picture is scrambled using the Arnold method. Zero watermarking is implemented on the Raspberry Pi to produce a real-time ownership verification key. Before sending the ownership verification key and the original image to the monitoring station, we can encrypt the transmitted data with AES for additional security and hide any viewable information. The receiver next verifies the received image's integrity to confirm its authenticity and that it has not been tampered with. We assessed the suggested algorithm's resistance to many attacks. The suggested algorithm provides a reasonable degree of robustness while still being perceptible. The proposed method provides improved bit error rate (BER) and normalized correlation (NC) values compared to previous zero watermarking approaches. AES performance analysis is performed to demonstrate its effectiveness. Using a 256 × 256 image size, it takes only 2 s to apply the zero-watermark algorithm on the Raspberry Pi.
