Synopsis

A practical guide to designing secure and energy-efficient IoT networks through cross-layer frameworks, lightweight cryptography, and machine learning-based intrusion detection, Improving Security and Energy Efficiency in IoT Networks equips readers with actionable strategies to balance security and energy efficiency in resource-constrained IoT environments. It delivers hands-on frameworks validated through simulations and hardware testbeds, covering adaptive routing, lightweight encryption, and ML-driven anomaly detection. It also includes mini-projects, review questions, and reproducible configurations for real-world deployments.

Key Features:

• Effectively balances security and energy efficiency through cross-layer design principles.
• Comprehensively integrates lightweight cryptography, adaptive routing, and ML-based anomaly detection.
• Practically validates concepts with simulations, hardware testbeds, and hands-on mini projects.
• Companion resources include configuration files, scripts, and experiment notes to support reproducibility and classroom use.

Ideal for IoT practitioners, network engineers, cybersecurity professionals, and researchers seeking practical solutions for secure and sustainable IoT systems. Also suited for instructors and students in networking, embedded systems, and cybersecurity courses.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Rashid Mustafa is a Lecturer in Cybersecurity at Whitecliffe College of Arts and Sciences (New Zealand) and holds a PhD in Cybersecurity from Auckland University of Technology (AUT). Over 20+ years across academia and industry, he has supervised 40+ Master’s projects and leads hands-on, lab-first teaching across network security, Microsoft Azure/cloud, Cisco/Fortinet systems, data communications, IoT, and software development (NZQA L5–L7). His research targets secure, energy-efficient cross-layer IoT architectures, ML-assisted intrusion detection, and cloud-enabled network defence, with recent outputs in Sensors (MDPI) and at ICOIN. He builds practical capability with tools such as Snort, Nessus, Wireshark, Burp Suite, and Kali Linux, drawing on prior roles at Saudi Telecom and PARCO Oil Refinery. Alongside Azure training and adult-education delivery, he contributes to curriculum design, industry engagement, and mentoring, helping students translate security concepts into deployable solutions.
