Clemson, USA jrapose@g.clemson.edu Abstract— The Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology that has transformed our daily lives because of its distributed and ubiquitous nature. Security and privacy issues exist with the use of the IoT and must be addressed.
In this paper, I discuss some of the security challenges that the IoT architecture has to address. I also compare the challenges that were inherited from the technologies related to the internet and those that appear in IoT from present networks.
Keywords— IoT, security, solution.
I. INTRODUCTION
The Internet of Things is an infrastructure that connects physical devices/objects to the internet and not just computer devices, making it possible for a user to have remote access or control over that object. IoT has the following three categories of objects-
1. General objects having communication or processing capabilities embedded in them, for e.g. smartphones.
2. Sensing and actuating objects that collect information about their environment and manipulate it through remote access.
3. Data capturing and Data carrying objects that use technologies like NFC to communicate. [1]
The ubiquitous nature of the Internet of Things provides many benefits, however, the security and privacy problems related with it has to be tackled. The distributed nature of technologies that IoT relies on is prone to many security and privacy
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.
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.
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 exponential increase use of the Internet to communicate, conduct business transactions, access personal banking, healthcare, education at confront of being anywhere has become an everyday lifestyle for many people around the globe. This reliance on computers, laptops, devices and other Internet of Things to access the Internet means, organizations, businesses and the government have also seen an increase occurrence of sophisticated attacks.
In order to solve the issue, Amazon web service has brought Internet of things technology (IoT) to secure the connections of personal computers in the home and improve the crop development for the users. The technology can be useful for office security to prevent a loss that is caused by hacking as well as attacks in the network (Amazon Web Services, Inc. 2016).
The world is getting smarter and better and so are the devices. With the improved technology, we can check our mails on our watch; control our home temperature through our smartphone and much more. The term Internet of Things is referred to any object or device which connects to the Internet to automatically send and/or receive data [1].
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.
The Internet of things can be prodigiously subsidiary for students, edifiers, and virtually anyone in the world in an immensely colossal way. This is because of the extreme accommodation it has on individuals in a generally sizably voluminous way. However, there definitely is a security quandary that interferes with people’s daily lives in a major way. This is the trade off that individuals face when utilizing IOT.
Internet of Things (IoT): With many more devices in use in the enterprise, many of which IT may not be aware of, there are many security vulnerabilities that are added to
The sudden growth in IT investment is linked with the growth of IOT and therefore naturally an era of increased investment comes with increased business opportunities. The following section describes some of the applications of the internet of things and the opportunities in which they will bring.
The Internet of Things is a vision of a global network that connects various physical world objects to the IT infrastructure. This vision has been inspired by the success made in emerging technologies such as Radio-Frequency IDentification (RFID), wireless sensor networks, and mobile communication. The realisation of such a global object network will allow seamless interaction and cooperation between the real and logical world.
The Internet of Things is a complex, innovative system rooted in the idea of connectivity. Individual artifacts that transmit data and information amongst each other ensure a smooth and coherent experience based off their ability to communicate through internet connection, sharing the same network to create incomparable efficiency and convenience. The Internet of Things is constantly developing to work in new areas and scenarios, further securing its essentiality in the domain of the technological future
Internet of Things is the connectivity concept which makes all the devices, connected to the main monitoring device via Wired or Wireless. The communication that is been used by IoT is possessing an RFID. Every device in this IoT network seems to physically individual, but they are all connected with a same unison. There are more than 12 billions connected and according to stats, in coming years it would increase to more than 26 times of present. IoT is the most fashionable way of connecting devices and communicating them in an intelligent way. As all the devices are connected, it is now driving the world towards a single and large information system.
The concept of the internet of things abbreviated as IoT was introduced as early as the late 90’s by Kevin Ashton, the Executive Director of Auto-ID Labs and a professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Now, “the Internet of things is already a disruptive technology capable of determining fundamental changes that are happening in everyday life, and it is considered the fourth industrial revolution.” (Hucanu) The Internet of Things (IoT)
called the Internet of Things (IoT). The Internet of Things impacts every aspect of life, spanning
