Over the last several decades, the pace of progress of Internet technology has undergone rapid developments, especially in the Internet of Things (IoT). The recent advancements that have changed the way people live are called Smart devices, which are capable of contacting each other wherever and whenever. This technology has become an inseparable element for people in modern society and industrial operations; therefore, providing a secure data sharing environment and storage framework are essential. This current study presents a survey on the security issues surrounding the IoT. Generally, the IoT includes three main architecture layers, namely the Network layer, Application layer and Perception layer. In order to achieve a reliable and secure IoT environment, a number of privacy principles and security protocols should be implemented for each construction layer individually. The aim of this paper is to explore the security issues of the IoT technology and investigate the problems for a safe, secure and reliable operation.
