Abstract
The internet of things (IoT) is considered to be the next big challenge for the Internet research community. Recently, the IoT has drawn significant research attention [1]. The IoT will comprise of billions of communicating devices, which extend the borders of the cyber world with physical entities and virtual components [2, 3]. These things, such as wireless sensor nodes, radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags and near-field communication (NFC) devices, are connected to the Internet with the ability to sense status and use real-time data. Also, they access historical data and developed algorithms, possibly triggering devices. This is leading to very powerful smart environments, e.g. building, health care, etc. [1, 4].
