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
