A Novel Cost-Effective Data and Service Availability Approach in Machine-to-Machine Communication Network

Data availability is a crucial security feature in the perception layer of Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication devices where devices are autonomous with no human intervention. It enables devices through offering crucial data and services availability during communication failures. The IoT network are mostly equipped with cloned backups of data, power backups and additional hardware for data and power to achieve availability of crucial data and services, which is very costly. In this regard, we presented a novel anti-communication failure approach to limit crucial sensor data loss, enforced data loss attacks. The results show that the approach achieved the data availability features with no additional hardware cost.
