SCI-IoT: A Quantitative Framework for Trust Scoring and Certification of IoT Devices

The exponential growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem has amplified concerns regarding device reliability, interoperability, and security assurance. Despite the proliferation of IoT security guidelines, a unified and quantitative approach to measuring trust remains absent. This paper introduces SCI-IoT (Secure Certification Index for IoT), a standardized and quantitative framework for trust scoring, evaluation, and certification of IoT devices. The framework employs a six-tier gradi...
