Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) devices have revolutionized communication, transportation, healthcare, and many other fields. In particular, the adoption of these devices has propelled the growth of Industry 4.0 to an exponential pace. However, while this vast pool of interconnected devices broadens the opportunities for better business and better lives, it also attracts the attention of cybercriminals. Nevertheless, it has been shown that the resource-constrained nature of these devices inhibits the deployment of traditional security measures.
