Abstract:
Smart societies have an increasing demand for quality-oriented services and infrastructure in an
industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) paradigm. Smart urbanization faces numerous challenges. Among them,
secured energy demand-side management (DSM) is of particular concern. The IIoT renders the industrial
systems to malware, cyberattacks, and other security risks. The IIoT with the amalgamation of big data
analytics can provide ef cient solutions to such challenges. This paper proposes a secured and trusted multilayered
DSM engine for a smart social society using IIoT-based big data analytics. The major objective is
to provide a generic secured solution for smart societies in IIoT environment. The proposed engine uses a
centralized approach to achieve optimum DSM over a home area network. To enhance the security of this
engine, a payload-based authentication scheme is utilized that relies on a lightweight handshake mechanism.
Our proposed method utilizes the lightweight features of the constrained application protocol to facilitate the
clients in monitoring various resources residing over the server in an energy-ef cient manner. In addition,
data streams are processed using big data analytics with MapReduce parallel processing. The proposed
authentication approach is evaluated using NetDuino Plus 2 boards that yield a lower connection overhead,
memory consumption, response time, and a robust defense against various malicious attacks. On the other
hand, our data processing approach is tested on reliable datasets using Apache Hadoop with Apache Spark
to verify the proposed DMS engine. The test results reveal that the proposed architecture offers valuable
insights into the smart social societies in the context of IIoT.
