ABSTRACT
Abstract Nowadays, we are immersed in a digital world with a huge number of sensors, and devices, connected following a great variety of typologies. Internet Protocol (IP) v6 and the standardization of the novel Internet of Things (IoT) protocols enable new services and applications. Moreover, the heterogeneity of IP and non-IP devices requires novel security techniques, allowing non-IP devices to connect over a short range with a mediator gateway, and then forming a capillary access network. Providing security and privacy is hard in the conventional Internet, and is even more challenging in the IoT because of global connectivity and heterogeneous and resource-constrained devices.
