A primary aim of the Internet of Things (IoT) is to deliver personalised or 
even autonomic services to individuals, building on a pervasive digital 
ecosystem that collects information from and offers control over devices that 
are embedded in our everyday lives. The extraordinary power of this vision is 
expected to lead to fundamental social change: it will affect the way in which 
we interact with our environment and each other, and will result in the 
creation of new business opportunities and new business models. However, the 
embedded nature of the technology and a lack of awareness of its potential 
social and personal consequences, as balanced against the more clearly 
articulated benefits, makes a special issue dedicated to security, privacy and 
trust very timely.
Amongst other things, the reliance of IoT on simple, cheap, (inter)networked 
processors has profound implications on security; the potentially invasive 
nature of the information gathered has implications on privacy; and the 
implicit reliance on technology to make decisions on one's behalf makes 
mechanisms for expressing and reasoning about trust essential.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  *   Addressing novel security challenges for the IoT, including use cases, 
threat models, protocols, and underlying technologies
  *   Privacy and (limited) anonymity in the IoT: threats, mechanisms, 
guarantees, and policing
  *   Trust management in the IoT
  *   Interaction design for the IoT, with particular emphasis on providing 
trustworthy information from and control over things to end users.
  *   Legal, social and ethical issues in the IoT  in both developed and 
developing countries.
  *   Real case studies
