Kazi Masum Sadique, Rahim Rahmani, Paul Johannesson · Procedia Computer Science · 2018
The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm refers to the network of physical objects or "things" embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and connectivity to enable objects to exchange data with servers, centralized systems, and/or other connected devices based on a variety of communication infrastructures. IoT data collected from different sensors, nodes and collectors are transferred to the cloud over the internet. IoT devices are used by consumers, healthcare, businesses as well as by the governments. It is being forecast that 31 billion IoT devices will be deployed all over the world by the year 2020. As the use of IoT devices is increasing every moment several IoT vulnerabilities are introduced. The results and analysis indicate that massive deployment of IoT with an integration of new technologies are introducing new security challenges in IoT paradigm. In this paper, IoT security challenges and open issues are discussed which provides a ground for future research.
