Internet of things is a dynamic global network infrastructure based on standard and interoperable communication protocols where physical and virtual ‘things’ integrated into the information network. The Internet of Things links the objects of the real world with the virtual world, thus enabling anytime, anyplace connectivity for anything and not only for anyone. It refers to a world where physical objects and beings, as well as virtual data and environments, all interact with each other in the same space and time. It is natural that many risks associated with the creation of such a network. In this environment Security challenges are very important. The unique properties of the IOT such as "uncontrolled environment", " Heterogeneity", " Scalability" and "Constrained resources" makes unusable the previous solutions for security, privacy and trust. In this paper, different IOT architectures will be introduced and the security strategies will be compared. Our analysis shows the necessity of dynamic security for the Internet of Things.
