Sustainable Development is a principle that holds a range of policies, procedures, models, and approaches. From it emerged the Computational sustainability, a broad field that attempts to optimize societal, economic, and environmental resources using methods from mathematics and computer science. Today, software and hardware analysts recognize that specifying a sustainable technologies (a sustainable IoT in this research program) is a mandatory condition to realize a Sustainable Development Strategy. Recent news illustrates many problems related to the security of IoT: from the non-conformance (Integrity challenges) to massive Distributed Deny of Service (DDOS) attacks (Availability challenges) to the multiplication of data privacy threats (the Confidentiality challenges). Based on previous models of Sustainable Development and Information Security, I developed a new model for Securing the Internet of Things Sustainability. This research program will outline goals and actions to promote secure green IoT, ensure secure smart manufacturing using IoT, and build secure and sustainable communities in smart cities. Thus, HQP involved in this research program will benefit from an interdisciplinary research program exploring leading-edge research in Green Computing, Cybersecurity, IoT, Formal Methods, Machine Learnings, etc. Therefore, HQP will develop a highly marketable skills taking into the account the growing gap between the available opportunities in Cybersecurity profession globally, and the number of qualified professionals.
