Summary:

The Internet of Things (""IoT"") refers to the ability of everyday objects to connect to the Internet and to send and receive data. It includes, for example, Internet-connected cameras that allow you to post pictures online with a single click; home automation systems that turn on your front porch light when you leave work; and bracelets that share with your friends how far you have biked or run during the day. This book discusses the emergence, perspectives, privacy and security issues of the IoTs.
