Internet Of Things : Challenges And Security

This paper gives a clear understanding on the current state of art on the IoT. The primary idea of the IoT concept is the pervasive existence around us of a wide range of things such as Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) tags, actuators, sensors, mobile phones, etc. These are able to communicate with each other and collaborate with their neighbors to reach collective goals through distinctive addressing scheme.

While IoT devices holds much promise, there are still many security issues that need to be addressed. These security issues can have a significant impact on everyday life, such as causing damage, disruption to business operations, and in some cases even loss of life. Having all your devices interconnected using IoT such as lighting, thermostats, doors, and elevators, seems convenient but in fact this poses a great security risk. If these risks are exploited it could disrupt power or lighting which could lead to a loss of life if it were something like a hospital. Addressing these security risks will lead to more efficient and safer to use IoT devices but companies will have to identify them in their devices first (Tankard, 2015).

The purpose of this study will be to develop adequate security strategies and best practices as a guide to add to the knowledge base of current literature on IoT devices. The current research literature on the internet of things indicates that the number of attacks against IoT devices are on the rise. The number of potential attackers is growing at an alarming rate because of the number of IoT devices that are joined to network every day (Abomhara and Kien, 2015). Tools are available to those same potential attackers are much more sophisticated that they have ever been. (p. 66). This study will provide valuable information to IT leaders, service providers, vendors and IoT manufactures.

IoT is an existed technology physically. However, many challenges still face this technology to be separated widely. In this report, Internet of Things technology will be discussed, and on the most important open issues that have not been solved, or at least perfectly, will be focused on.

Internet of Things is a new technology that delivers communication among billions of smart devices via the Internet such as a smart car, vending machine, smart house, health system and business system, et cetera. Nearly 50 billion devices and sensors will be connected to the Internet by 2020 and most of them will perform their duties without having security. In addition, the critical missions of a massive interconnected device are security and interoperability. Hackers will use more complex tools and techniques to breach the network system. Hence, companies should establish strong security countermeasures and the best approach to provide better security by deploying a multilayer approach which is called Defense in Depth.

Internet of Things is a new technology that delivers communication among billions of smart devices via the Internet such as smart car, vending machine, smart house, health system and business system, etc. Nearly 50 billion devises and sensors will be connected to the Internet by 2020 and most of them will perform their duties without having security. In addition, the critical mission of a massive interconnected devices are security and interoperability. Hackers will use more complex tools and techniques to breach the network system. Hence, companies should establish strong security countermeasures and the best approach to provide superlative is security by deploying multilayer security method which is called defense in depth. Defense in depth is considered as a vital part for securing the Internet of Things because defense in depth eludes a system from facing single point of failure. This paper discusses the seven core layers of defense in depth approaches which are policy, procedures and awareness, application security, data security, physical security, host and server security, network and perimeter security, and wireless security.

This paper looks at the security concerns that the Internet of Things, or IOT carries along with it. The Internet of Things is defined as “a proposed development of the Internet in which everyday objects have network connectivity, allowing them to send and receive data” This increasing level of connectivity and interconnectivity certainly makes everyday tasks easier for the average person, but at the same time, it makes finding holes in security measures easier as well. The Internet of Things is said to have been “in the works” in the 1990’s. In 1999, the term “Internet of Things” is created by Kevin Ashton, the executive director of Auto-ID. Auto-ID is an academic research network pertaining to the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things took a huge step with the use and introduction of RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification). RFID really pushed the future of the Internet of Things, as it has a direct relationship to what the Internet of Things is all about, the communication between devices and objects. An example of this is an RFID tag being embedded in an intermodal container full of fruit, and arriving/departing a specific port at a shipping depot. Once the container passes a designated point, the time of arrival/departure, temperature in the container, days until expiration, and other key information.

The topic we chose to analyze in this research paper is information systems security. More specifically, we examined the security of the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things is an ever-growing avenue of technology that is constantly improving in connectivity and user-friendly interactions. IoT is defined by Forbes writer Jacob Morgan (2014) as “the concept of basically connecting any device with an on and off switch to the Internet (and/or to each other). This [including] … cell phones, coffee makers, washing machines, headphones, lamps, … and almost anything else you can think of”. In other words, IoT is the glue that holds the world of technology together. Within this field we have developed a compelling thesis question. Its answer could help propel this market into the future: What can be done to improve the security of the Internet of Things in the home? This question is pivotal as the home is one of the most cherished yet vulnerable possessions a person has. The IoT of any given home may contain harmless things, such as grocery lists, family photos, or calendar events, but it can also contain sensitive data that, if stolen by a hacker, could tear a household apart. This includes social security numbers, credit card numbers, and bank account information. Because this information is so important and in need of protection, the greatest possible effort must be put forward to protect it. It is virtually impossible to completely prevent hacking in all

Abstract—Due to the vulnerable nature of the Internet of Things (IOT) the security and privacy are those important issues for the IOT which attracted lots of focus in recent years. The lack of efficient and lightweight authentication method in IOT can make it a delicious vulnerable victim for several impersonate-based attacks. This paper proposes a new authentication mechanism for IOT called Certificate-based Identity Resolution (CIR) which tries to protect IOT terminal nodes from attacks by applying a lightweight identity resolution method and using a Local Certificate Generator in order to simplify the node authentication process.

The Internet of Things (IoT) sometimes known as Internet of objects. Internet of Things later will change to Internet of Everything which includes education, communication, business, science, government, and humanity. The internet is one of the most important and powerful creations in human history (Evan, 2011). The high volumes of data generated by IoT and technologies for the similar environment can flawlessly integrate classical networks with network devices. In this paper, I am going to provide systematic details of data mining, analysis and outlier analysis. The new analytic application will be also consider after successful delivery of required result. This literature review also provides a different perspective of Research topic’s Journal. The objective of this literature review will be providing services to IoT based business. These services include it sustainable solution for the IoT security threat and issue. My literature will provide critical review by bringing up similar topic from different journals.

The main idea behind the working of the Internet of Things revolves around increased machine-to-machine communication or M2M communication as it is called nowadays. It’s built on cloud computing and networks of sensors that can collect data and store it. The Internet of things offers mobile, virtual, and instantaneous connection. It is all about installing sensors (RFID, Bluetooth, GPS etc.) and connecting them to the internet through the use of specific protocols for data transfer and communications, in order to achieve intelligent recognition, location, tracking, monitoring and management (Zhang, Kim, & Mohammed, 2015). Thus, the Internet of things really comes together with the connection of sensors and machines. The real value that the Internet of Things creates is at the intersection of collecting data and using it for future use (Burrus, 2012).

The next big boom in the networking fields is the Internet of things (IoT). The basic idea of IoT is the networking of different physical devices, smart devices, vehicles and also the items embedded with electronics, software, sensors etc. to the internet. IoT is playing a more and more important role. It covers from traditional equipment to most general household objects such as WSNs and RFID. With this great potential of IoT there come security problems which are discussed in this paper. As IoT is built on the internet, security problems of the internet will also show up in the IoT. IoT contains three layers: perception layer, transportation layer and the application layer. This paper analyses the security problems related to each layer separately and try to find the new solutions for the problems.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging M2M related technology that enables physical objects, or devices to connect to the Internet. Given such an arrangement consumers can communicate with the things and manage them remotely. With billions of devices connected to the Internet, huge amounts of data being generated, with the need for mobility and real-time processing this article presents the need to integrate one or more communication technologies and aims to evaluate the possibilities of

 IoT is also expected to generate large amounts of data from diverse locations, with the consequent necessity for quick aggregation of the data, and an increase in the need to index, store, and process such data more effectively.
