Security Issues and Challenges in IoT

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) supports a wide range of applications including smart cities, traffic congestion, waste management, structural health, security, emergency services, logistics, retails, industrial control, and health care. IoT is mega-technology that can establish connection with anything, anyone, at any time, place, service on a platform and any network. It has a great impact on the whole block chain of businesses, smart objects and devices, systems and services that are enabled by heterogeneous network connectivity and is developed as a smart pervasive framework of smart devices. IoT devices are in use in many fields, they connect to complex devices, interface with hostile environments and are deployed on various uncontrolled platforms, therefore faces many security issues and challenges. Since the IoT offers a potential platform for integrating any type of network and complex system it could encounter vulnerabilities inherent to the individual systems which are available within the integrated network. This research paper is a study of the security issues of the individual systems responsible for IoT interconnection and their impact towards the integrated IoT system.
