R Thirukkumaran, P. Muthu Kannan · 2018
Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging research field in networking domain and applied to almost all the applications that can change the people lives as smart. Moreover, in some use cases large volume of sensitive data could be generated. The number of security threats related to Infrastructure, platform and application of IoT has been increased over the last few years. So, it is necessary to apply proper security solutions which ensure privacy and confidentiality of data. To address the secure and reliable communication, various trust-based solutions were introduced. Most of the nodes in IoT system are heterogeneous and limited storage space. The existing trust management protocols do not scale well to accommodate this requirement. This article provides a detailed review of the security challenges and trust management techniques adopted for IoT to secure data in a cloud environment.
