CONCLUSIONS AND FUTURE WORK
To better understand the research trends on IoT security protocols, a review study that entailed assessing the status of the existing research in the field of IoT security protocols was conducted. This was achieved through a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications (i.e. articles, books, book chapters, and conference papers) for the period between 2016 and 2022. It emerged that IoT security protocols are an active ongoing research field with American and Asian affiliations (institutions) being the most contributors in terms of producing research papers in this field. In addition, America and Asia are identified to be the top two continents dominating in terms of publications and are the most prominent in the collaboration network. It has also emerged that Africa is still lagging behind compared to the two mentioned continents, namely America and Asia. Nevertheless, some kind of effort has been noted from the African continent. For example, the study findings revealed that Tunisia is the only collaborative country in Africa that shows collaboration with Saudi Arabia.
