An Information Theoretical Model Of Internet Of Things System In Smart City Setting

In this paper we will describe an information theoretical model of an Internet of Things system functioning in a smart city setting. Our approach builds on three previous investigations. A security architecture for the Internet of Things [1], an information theoretical modeling approach [2], and a survey of smart city fundamentals [5]. In this paper, we propose to apply least action principle (LAP) model to find the optimal distribution of IoT security provider nodes (IoTSSP). That will help to build a self-adaptive system. This work has two main parts. The first part is IoT security provider nodes (IoTSSP), which was designed by Dos Santos and his team [1]. IoTSSP nodes were architecture-based on Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS). IoTSSP nodes have two main functions. The first function is delegation of the handshaking process. The second function is session transfer ticket. In the LAP model the maximum independent set is used. The LAP will play a significant role in finding better ways to distribute IoTSSP nodes.
