Introduction In the current years, in the area of wireless communications and networking, a new paradigm named the Internet of Things (IoT) has raised. By embedding short-range mobile transceivers into a wide array of additional gadgets and everyday items, enabling new forms of communication between people and things, and between things themselves, IoT would add a new dimension to the world of information and communication and IoT applications are changing the way people work and live by saving time and resources and opening new opportunities for growth, innovation and knowledge creation. . Therefore, IoT has attracted considerable attention from both academia and industry. However, many challenging issues still need to be addressed. One such challenge is Security and privacy technologies for IoT. Two major issues in IoT are privacy of the humans and confidentiality of the business processes. For ensuring confidentiality, a large number of standard encryption technologies exist for use. However, the main challenge is to make encryption algorithms faster and less energy-consuming. Moreover, an efficient key distribution scheme should be in place for using an encryption scheme. For privacy, the situation is more serious; one of the reasons is the ignorance (regarding privacy) of the general public. Moreover, the heterogeneity and mobility of ’things’ in the IoT will add complexity to the situation. A similar argument can be made for authentication of devices and establishing trust. Objective This leads us to develop a special issue seeking high quality of papers demonstrating real proofs-of-concept and solutions to enforce the importance of security, privacy and trust in IoT.
