A huge amount of data is generated from the interaction of various sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) enabled devices used in various smart industrial applications. This enormous amount of data requires fast processing, huge storage capacity, secure dissemination, and aggregation to make it resistant from the attackers. Secure data dissemination for IoT-based applications has been a prominent issue in consideration with the heterogeneity in generated data. Existing secure data dissemination schemes are inadequate to handle secure data distribution. Research communities across the globe are focused on the delivery of the data among the sensor nodes and overlook the difficulty of its secure streaming. Hence, there is a need to validate the performance of secure data distribution schemes for IoT networks using relevant parameters. Motivated from the aforementioned facts, in this study, we perform a comprehensive review on the state-of-the-art techniques, which can verify and validate the performance of data dissemination schemes for IoT networks. We present a solution taxonomy of various verification and validation methods along with their merits and demerits. Finally, recent issues and future directions on verification and validation methods for the secure data distribution in an IoT network is presented.
