Although the IoT market is steadily growing, there is still a lack of consideration for increasing security threats in the IoT environment. In particular, it is difficult to apply existing IP security technology to resource-constrained devices. Therefore, there is a demand for reliable end-to-end communication security measures to cope with security threats such as information tampering and leakage that may occur during communication between heterogeneous networks do. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end message security protocol based on lightweight cipher that increases security and lowers security overhead in resource-constrained IoT device communication. Through simulation of processing time, we verified that the proposed protocol has better performance than the existing AES-based protocol.

With the development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, the combination of ICT and medical services has been increasing to improve the quality of medical services. Using the IoTs, we can collect personal health information continuously in a patient's everyday life. We expect that this will improve the quality of medical service through analysis. However, the problem of ensuring the protection of personal information within the personal health information has been hampering the research, development, and application of such services. Other problems include lack of IoT devices and lack of user convenience for collecting health information about a patient's everyday life. Therefore, in this study, we construct a daily health information management service that can collect the health related information at any time and store this data in personal storage. This data is then only provided to the healthcare worker when necessary. We built a test bed for an IoT-based smart home platform and are currently conducting user experiments. Based on the results of this study, we are attempting to provide a high quality medical trial service based on daily health information through linkage with medical device manufacturers, medical clinics, insurance companies, etc. We expect the proposed health information management service will contribute to the revitalization of smart health care services via activating various health related IoT devices and analyzing daily health information.

The rapid evolution of the IoT has paved the way for new opportunities in smart city domains, including e-health, smart homes, and precision agriculture. However, this proliferation of services demands effective SLAs between customers and service providers, especially for critical services. Difficulties arise in maintaining the integrity of such agreements, especially in vulnerable wireless environments. This study proposes a novel SLA management model that uses an SDN-Enabled WSN consisting of wireless nodes to interact with smart contracts in a straightforward manner. The proposed model ensures the persistence of network metrics and SLA provisions through smart contracts, eliminating the need for intermediaries to audit payment and compensation procedures. The reliability and verifiability of the data prevents doubts from the contracting parties. To meet the high-performance requirements of the blockchain in the proposed model, low-cost algorithms have been developed for implementing blockchain technology in wireless sensor networks with low-energy and low-capacity nodes. Furthermore, a cryptographic signature control code is generated by wireless nodes using the in-memory private key and the dynamic random key from the smart contract at runtime to prevent tampering with data transmitted over the network. This control code enables the verification of end-to-end data signatures. The efficient generation of dynamic keys at runtime is ensured by the flexible and high-performance infrastructure of the SDN architecture.

In this paper, we propose IoT based smart CCTV security service to prevent crime in blind spot and prevent unexpected fire or danger. In the proposed method, a RC (Radio Control) car is made using Raspberry pie, and a camera and various modules are installed in an RC car. It was then implemented using Raspbian O / S, Apache Web Server, Shell script, Python, PHP, HTML, CSS, Javascript. The RC car provides a security service that informs the manager of the situation by judging the risk of the scene with modules such as video, voice and temperature. Experimental results show that the transmission time of video and audio information is less than 0.1 second. In addition, real-time status transmission was possible in AVG, emergency, and manual mode. It is expected that the proposed method will be applied to the development of smart city by applying it to unmanned vehicles, drones and the like.

Recently, technological differentiation(sensor, AI) of products using IoT technology to satisfy consumer needs in the mature market for smart home appliances has received a lot of positive responses. However, air conditioner products are in the early stages of convergence technology. Therefore, air conditioner products are fields that require ICT technologies for information production, collection, processing, storage, and service development beyond IoT. In this paper, we collect and store contactless bio-signal using IR-UWB radar technology. The blowing direction of the air conditioning is controlled according to bio-signal and user's sleep is monitored to provide an optimal sleep environment. In addition, we propose a service algorithm that can provide comfort with changes in the optimal conditions of air conditioning and emotional lighting depending on the discomfort index environment. Through this study, we developed an intelligent smart air conditioning service platform with ICT technology of bio-signal, discomfort index, and emotional lighting.

This paper proposes a reliable data sharing scheme on the internet of vehicles (IoV) by utilizing blockchain technology for constructing a decentralized system approach. In our model, to maintain the credibility of the information messages sent by the vehicles to the system, we propose a reputation rating mechanism, in which neighboring vehicles validate every received information message. Furthermore, we incorporate an incentive mechanism based on smart contracts, so that vehicles will get certain rewards from the system when they share correct traffic information messages. We simulated the IoV network using a discrete event simulator to analyze network performance, whereas the incentive model is designed by leveraging the smart contract available in the Ethereum platform.
