Jouni Pänkäläinen · Doria (University of Helsinki) · 2016
In this thesis a systematic literature review about the security in the Internet of Things was performed. Based on the chosen search strategy, 38 articles were selected for a closer examination. Out of these articles, the concerns and solutions for the security in the Internet of Things were extracted. The security in the Internet of Things is under heavy research. Most of the research has been done in the recent years. IoT devices often collect private information and the vast number of the devices allow them to be exploited in malicious attacks. Many difficult problems, such as privacy and authentication still require efficient solutions for the heterogeneous and resource constrained environment of the IoT. However, the research for the means to achieve secure communication in the IoT is ongoing and many promising solutions are already emerging.
