is used to collect and exchange massive data. This
technology promises an immense potential for improving the quality of
life, healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, etc. The use of the IoT in
smart buildings has a great importance and promising
outcomes with a direct impact on our society. Researchers and industrial
partners have achieved several applications where they have leveraged various
enabling technologies for service enhancement. Many sectors in a
smart city can benefit from an enhanced data collection and effective data
analysis process done on the data gathered from these smart building devices
that mainly consist of HVAC systems. However, the incremental number of
connected IoT devices request a scalable and robust network. Consequently, it
rises the attack surfaces of devices as well as their connections, which make
them more exposed to internal and external at tacks. In this context, the
challenging issue is how to construct a secure IoT network
and preserving its resiliency. </span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">
