Everyday objects, wearables, homes and entire cities have become more and more integr ated into the Internet of Things (IoT). Yet these connected and ubiquitous systems are not always recognizable to everybody, or transparent in their behaviour. Their ubiquity leads to ever more complex systems, but this complexity is hard to secure, because even the most diligent developers make mistakes, and many vulnerabilities emerge in the interactions between different systems.

Why renewable energy is so vital for Indiaedit
Petroleum prices have always been a contentious issue in India. Historically, political expediency overrode economic considerations. The central government has some compelling reasons not to interfere with market forces, which are currently being affected by global factors. India imported 256.32 million metric tonnes of crude oil and petroleum products in 2017-18, for which it paid ~6.53 trillion. India’s import dependence in crude oil is over 80 per cent.
