Internet of Things: Industry 4.0

It is wonderful to see this book published during the peak of the IoT hype cycle where most writing is in tweets and blog entries. The deployment of traditional IP networks security technology and Web infrastructure requires a lot of knowledge and skill and understanding the Internet of Things requires a similar breadth of knowledge. Today we take that knowledge for granted because we have trained the world through books and teaching over several decades. Luckily most of the knowledge we have gained from building today’s Internet and Web services can be applied to IoT. There are however many aspects of IoT technologies that are new including IPv6 over low-power networks new applications of TLS security efficient web transfer protocols and techniques for managing and using devices through commonly understood data objects.
