I. Introduction
The rapid growth of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in the context of smart cities has revolutionized various industries, fostering unprecedented connectivity and data exchange for ur-ban environments. However, the proliferation of IoT networks within smart cities brings forth critical security challenges. For instance, consider a smart city infrastructure consisting of interconnected IoT devices deployed across various sec-tors, such as transportation, energy, and public safety. In this complex ecosystem, without robust security measures, malicious actors could exploit vulnerabilities in the system, potentially compromising critical services, citizen safety, and the overall resilience of the smart city framework. Therefore, it becomes imperative to address these security concerns through comprehensive research and innovative solutions to ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data and services within smart cities.
