Abstract: | IoT is a mesh of physical things or objects that are connected to the Internet. These
objects interconnect with external and internal environments with the help of embedded
technology. Physical things analyze sense, control, and decide independently or in alliance
with other things by way of two-way communication and high-speed control. This is also
essential for the smart grid. IoT results from current progress in embedded processing,
wireless, and sensing technologies. IoT-based smart grids need six fundamental technologies,
which include software-defined objects, model protocols, edge computing-based analysis,
intelligent sensing, low cost, and network information security. One of the vital challenges for
IoT is managing the large amount of data produced by sensors. Sending this massive amount
of data directly to the cloud will create problems of latency, security, privacy, and high
bandwidth utilization. On the other hand, its hasty development leads to the neglect
of security threats to a large extent in edge computing platforms and their enabled
applications. |
