• Abstract: The convergence of Internet of Things (IoT) security and Zero Trust (ZT) principles is a trending topic, demanding a comprehensive, multi-perspective analysis. We present the first multivocal literature review (MLR) on this topic, combining 68 academic and 36 industrial studies. This comprehensive review identifies two complementary yet divergent perspectives: academia focuses on IoT compliance with ZT principles through IoT modifications, while industry prioritizes practical integration within existing ZT frameworks guided by NIST standards. The analysis reveals critical research gaps in socio-technical understanding, cost-benefit evaluation, and interdisciplinary collaboration, highlighting these as key directions for future research.

  The Zero-trust (ZT) model is an increasingly popular model that relies on the idea that no trust should be granted to any entity (network, persons, devices) by default.<n>ZT model is gaining attention from both research and practice, with various levels of adequation between research developed and real-life applications.<n>An example of such an unspecified field is the integration of IoT/Smart Peripheral Devices (SPD).<n>Various reasons explain this gap: specificities of such resources (possibly lower energy/computation power), their lifecycle, and their use, strongly depending on the use of the whole platform
