A new way to understand the architecture of today's Internet, based on an innovative general model of network architecture that is rigorous, realistic, and modular. This book meets the long-standing need for an explanation of how the Internet's architecture has evolved since its creation to support an ever-broader range of the world's communication needs. The authors introduce a new model of network architecture that exploits a powerful form of modularity to provide lucid, insightful descriptions of complex structures, functions, and behaviors in today's Internet. Countering the idea that the Internet's architecture is "ossified" or rigid, this model—which is presented through hundreds of examples rather than mathematical notation—encompasses the Internet's original or "classic" architecture, its current architecture, and its possible future architectures. For practitioners, the book offers a precise and realistic approach to comparing design alternatives and guiding the ongoing evolution of their applications, technologies, and security practices. For educators and students, the book presents patterns that recur in many variations and in many places in the Internet ecosystem. Each pattern tells a compelling story, with a common problem to be solved and a range of solutions for solving it. For researchers, the book suggests many directions for future research that exploit modularity to simplify, optimize, and verify network implementations without loss of functionality or flexibility. We expect this book to be interesting to anyone involved with today’s computer networks, regardless of whether they are engineers (network designers and operators), academics (faculty and graduate students), researchers, or product developers. The book is not an introductory text, however, and readers will get the most out of this book if they have the kind of general knowledge taught in an undergraduate networking course.

This book provides an overview about results of the InSecTT project. Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) is the natural evolution for both Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) because they are mutually beneficial. AI increases the value of the IoT through machine learning by transforming the data into useful information, while the IoT increases the value of AI through connectivity and data exchange. Therefore, InSecTT—Intelligent Secure Trustable Things, a pan-European effort with over 50 key partners from 12 countries, provides intelligent, secure and trustworthy systems for industrial applications to provide comprehensive cost-efficient solutions of intelligent, end-to-end secure, trustworthy connectivity and interoperability to bring the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence together. InSecTT creates trust in AI-based intelligent systems and solutions as a major part of the AIoT. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a revolutionary change for many sectors: Fitness trackers measure our movements, smart fire extinguishers monitor their own readiness for action, and cars turned out to become fully connected vehicles. The availability of the collected data goes hand in hand with the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to process them. Despite numerous benefits, the vulnerability of these devices in terms of security remains an issue. Hacks of webcams, printers, children’s toys, and even vacuum cleaners as well as Distributed Denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks reduce confidence in this technology. The first part of the book provides an introduction into the main topics of the InSecTT project: How to bring Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence together to form the Artificial Intelligence of Things, a reference architecture for such kind of systems and how to develop trustworthy, ethical AI systems. In the second part, we show the development of essential technologies for creating trustworthy AIoT systems. The third part of the book is composed of a broad variety of examples on how to design, develop and validate trustworthy AIoT systems for industrial applications (including automotive, avionics, smart infrastructure, health care, manufacturing and railway).
