    The growth and proliferation of Internet and Communication Technologies (ICTs) within the last decade has resulted in a giant web of interconnected devices. Gartner research currently estimates that there are about 3 billion connected devices in consumer home environments. It is, however, predicted that by the year 2020 we would have nearly 21 billion devices connected and talking to each other (Boorstin, 2016). This growth is not limited to the traditional consumer environments but also comprises the millions of devices that are continually being installed and deployed industrially in facilities such as plants, warehouses. Currently, there are huge cost-saving advantages being realized by the prowess of IoT in industries such as health care, transportation, and retail and logistics in almost every facet of their operation.
