Protecting Data Confidentiality in the Cloud of Things

Abstract

Following the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology worldwide, the integration of the IoT to the cloud, referred to as the Cloud of Things (CoT), has become essential for easy access and management of remote resources. However, security and malicious intrusions must be seriously considered to ensure network reliability and data confidentiality. In this paper, the authors analyze the security implications of CoT and propose a solution for data confidentiality. They prove that the proposed solution can effectively protect against a number of security attacks.
