abstract = "SMART DEVICES ARE becoming ubiquitous and increasing rapidly in number and applications. The growing popularity of smart devices indicates that the Internet of Things (IoT) technology is becoming more and more prominent in our everyday life. The IoT market was valued at 190 billion in 2018 and is expected to reach 1.1 trillion by 2026.1 Widely available products include digital assistants, smart home security systems, remote educational labs, wearable medical devices, and industrial IoT devices and systems. According to Gartner Research,2 there were 8.4 billion connected things in 2017, setting the stage for 20.4 billion IoT devices to be deployed by 2020, and 500 billion IoT devices in 2030.",

note = "Funding Information: The Internet began as a means of creating high-speed connection between academic researchers, supercomputers, and government organizations in the late 1960s. Over the next 25 years, funding and management transitioned from the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) over to the National Science Foundation (NSF), and networking standards were refined to become what we consider the Internet today. Eventually, the supervision and management were handed over to the private entities while the NSF continued to refine the high-speed network for the scientific community. Once privatized, the market grew broader, and the islands of connectivity started diffusing making the world a more connected one. The continuous creation of IoT-enabled devices solidified the conception of connecting everyday devices to the Internet, and thus to each other. The intent of these devices was to connect to networks, able to recognize other devices, while being able to be controlled and located. Publisher Copyright: {\textcopyright} 2019 IEEE.",
