Internet of Nano-Things Forensics
telecommunication and network systems. The envisioned IoNT is shown in Figure 7.5.
The IoNT added a new dimension for the IoT by embedding nanosensors inside things/
devices to enable them to communicate together through the nanonetwork and the
Internet for global connection among devices around the world. The IoNT describes
how the Internet will get bigger as nanosensors are connected to physical things such as
physical assets or consumer devices for collecting, processing, and sharing of data with
the end users. IoNT has various important applications such as smart agriculture, health
care, military, logistics, aerospace, industrial control systems, manufacturing, and smart
cities. There are new domains promised from the IoNT technology such as IoBNT and
internet of multimedia nano-things (IoMNT) which will make new developments in
