nternet of Things (IoT) devices possess network capabilities and contain at least a part
of the application logic, i.e., they have the
ability to perform Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) communications on their own, and can process some of
the sensor data. The IoT thus refers to the network of physical objects embedded with electronics,
software, sensors and connectivity to enable objects to
exchange data with the manufacturer, operator, and/or
other connected devices. At the start of this decade,
there were an estimated 12.5 billion IoT devices, almost
twice as much as the world's population of 6.8 billion
people [1]. The number of IoT devices is expected to
grow rapidly in coming years.

These technological changes have tremendous implications for decentralized production control in manufacturing, and are expected to trigger a fourth industrial
revolution, following the steam engine, the conveyor
belt, and the computer revolution. IoT devices will have
a transformational effect on the lives of everyday consumers, too. Australia's largest telecommunications
company, Telstra, says the average Australian household in 2017 had 13 Internet connected devices and
that by 2021 a typical home will have over 30. It's predicted that the collective value of the smart home market in Australia will be greater than AU$1billion annually
by 2021 [2]. As the IoT technology becomes embedded
in televisions, webcams, smoke alarms, fitness trackers,
climate-control systems, lightbulbs and more, it has the
potential to save money and time, help people stay fit,
healthy, and safe, and enable effortless communication
with friends and family. There are important security
