Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Internet of Things (IoT) and wireless networks have become foundational technologies driving innovation across multiple domains. These technologies facilitate seamless connectivity and intelligent interactions between a myriad of devices, leading to enhanced efficiency, productivity, and user experiences. The Internet of Things (IoT) connects a myriad of devices and delivers sophisticated services across various domains via wireless networks, including healthcare, precision agriculture, home automation, and smart grids. Consequently, wireless networks and the IoT have garnered substantial attention from both academia and industry.

However, proactive measures like security protocols and algorithms are imperative to address anomalies resulting from the vast data generated by countless sensors embedded in smart objects. Additionally, traditional wireless networks and the IoT face several critical technical challenges: (1) ensuring robust security and privacy, (2) achieving interoperability across diverse IoT ecosystems, and (3) optimizing efficiency for resource-constrained environments.

This Special Issue aims to explore recent advancements, emerging trends, and innovative applications in the field of the IoT and wireless networks, with a particular focus on underlying protocols and algorithms. It also provides an opportunity for discussions to explore new challenges and frontiers in the various application fields of protocols, algorithms, and applications of wireless networks and the Internet of Things.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Security and privacy in wireless networks and IoT;
  • Cryptographic protocols for wireless networks and IoT;
  • Innovative application and architectures for wireless networks and IoT;
  • Signal-processing algorithms for wireless networks and IoT;
  • AI and ML algorithms for wireless networks and IoT;
  • Localization and tracking algorithms for wireless networks and IoT;
  • Synchronization algorithms for wireless networks and IoT;
  • Data transmission reduction in wireless networks and IoT;

This study focuses on leveraging the emerging Software-Defined Networking (SDN) technology, P4, to design a data plane for the Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) that can be applied in various scenarios, including both wired and wireless networks. This research explores the signaling mechanisms of the RSVP protocol, consolidates the data plane processing requirements, and ensures compliance with RSVP session Quality of Service (QoS) demands. Additionally, this study introduces the architecture, syntax, and external functionalities of the P4 language, which are utilized to develop the data plane required for RSVP-based resource reservation. Various parameters are pre-configured to enable the control plane to efficiently integrate RSVP reservation information into the data plane. Furthermore, Mininet is employed to create a virtual network topology, along with the BMv2 software switch, to evaluate whether the proposed system can fulfill RSVP’s end-to-end QoS guarantees. Different traffic transmission scenarios are examined to validate the system’s capability in accurately managing bandwidth allocation, latency, priority configuration, and packet counting for end-to-end QoS services.

The proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) has worsened the challenge of maintaining data and user privacy. IoT end devices, often deployed in unsupervised environments and connected to open networks, are susceptible to physical tampering and various other security attacks. Thus, robust, efficient authentication and key agreement (AKA) protocols are essential to protect data privacy during exchanges between end devices and servers. The previous work in “Provably Secure ECC-Based Anonymous Authentication and Key Agreement for IoT” proposed a novel AKA scheme for secure IoT environments. They claimed their protocol offers comprehensive security features, guarding against numerous potential flaws while achieving session key security. However, this paper demonstrates through logical and mathematical analyses that the previous work is vulnerable to various attacks. We conducted a security analysis using the extended Canetti and Krawczyk (eCK) model, which is widely employed in security evaluations. This model considers scenarios where an attacker has complete control over the network, including the ability to intercept, modify, and delete messages, while also accounting for the potential exposure of ephemeral private keys. Furthermore, we show that their scheme fails to meet critical security requirements and relies on flawed security assumptions. We prove our findings using the automated validation of internet security protocols and applications, a widely recognized formal verification tool. To strengthen attack resilience, we propose several recommendations for the advancement of more robust and efficient AKA protocols specifically designed for IoT environments. Full article

As part of our research for microcontroller software support, we have developed a modular framework that utilizes previously unimplemented architectural principles for developing applications on microcontrollers. These principles are still a privilege of enterprise and server applications. The paper describes the benefits of a new architectural approach to developing applications on microcontrollers and describes the most common application scenarios along with examples of IoT application development using a framework with design pattern architecture and SOLID principles. As a result, our framework supports developers in creating robust, adaptive, and scalable applications. It emphasizes a modular and clean design that increases development efficiency and enables easy deployment of new features or integration of new technologies, such as new types of sensors, upgraded development boards, or improved development tools and frameworks. The architectural concepts offered useful guidance for creating applications ready for future challenges and changing technology environments, especially in the IoT area. Full article
