“…In this section, we discuss the security properties that are supported by our solution: a. Authentication: Everything on the Internet of Things must be identifiable and authenticated with the other objects connected, so it's a challenging task because of the nature of IoT. Our proposed solution provides mutual authentication between the broker and their clients (publishers and subscribers) [24]. 1) Publisher (subscriber) authentication: the publisher (the subscriber) is authenticated by using the session key Skp (Sks) approved by the usage of the AugPAKE Algorithm.…”

The big challenge to raise for deploying the application's domain of the Internet of Things is security. As one of the popular messaging protocols in the IoT world, the message queue telemetry transport (MQTT) is designed for constrained devices and machine-to-machine communications, based on the publish-subscribe model, it offers a basic authentication using username and password. However, this authentication method might have a problem in terms of security and scalability. In this paper, we provide an analysis of the current research in the literature related to the security for the MQTT protocol, before we give a brief description of each algorithm used on our approach, to finally propose a new approach to secure this protocol based on AugPAKE algorithm and PRESENT encryption. This solution provides mutual authentication between the broker and their clients (publishers and subscribers), the confidentiality of the published message is protected twice, the integrity and non-repudiation of MQTT messages which is protected during the process of transmission.

The growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) offers numerous opportunities for developing industrial applications such as smart grids, smart cities, smart manufacturers, etc. By utilising these opportunities, businesses engage in creating the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). IoT is vulnerable to hacks and, therefore, requires various techniques to achieve the level of security required. Furthermore, the wider implementation of IIoT causes an even greater security risk than its benefits. To provide a roadmap for researchers, this survey discusses the integrity of industrial IoT systems and highlights the existing security approaches for the most significant industrial applications. This paper mainly classifies the attacks and possible security solutions regarding IoT layers architecture. Consequently, each attack is connected to one or more layers of the architecture accompanied by a literature analysis on the various IoT security countermeasures. It further provides a critical analysis of the existing IoT/IIoT solutions based on different security mechanisms, including communications protocols, networking, cryptography and intrusion detection systems. Additionally, there is a discussion of the emerging tools and simulations used for testing and evaluating security mechanisms in IoT applications. Last, this survey outlines several other relevant research issues and challenges for IoT/IIoT security.

“…Internet [93,94,100,107,110,[114][115][116][117]120] Lastly, regarding agricultural cyber-security, researchers intensify their efforts in designing Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) methods for anomaly behavior detection and network analysis of intrusion detection systems (IDS) [124]. Traditional Machine and Deep Learning applications applied for cybersecurity in agriculture include [125,126]: The emergence of such methods has enabled efficient handling and analysis of large amounts of data (e.g., files extracted from server logs, communication equipment, security solutions and blogs related to information security, in different types of structured and unstructured formats), so as to support a variety of conceptual models, security activities and knowledge generation mechanisms.…”

The agriculture sector has held a major role in human societies across the planet throughout history. The rapid evolution in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) strongly affects the structure and the procedures of modern agriculture. Despite the advantages gained from this evolution, there are several existing as well as emerging security threats that can severely impact the agricultural domain. The present paper provides an overview of the main existing and potential threats for agriculture. Initially, the paper presents an overview of the evolution of ICT solutions and how these may be utilized and affect the agriculture sector. It then conducts an extensive literature review on the use of ICT in agriculture, as well as on the associated emerging threats and vulnerabilities. The authors highlight the main ICT innovations, techniques, benefits, threats and mitigation measures by studying the literature on them and by providing a concise discussion on the possible impacts these could have on the agri-sector.
