Internet of Things (IoT) is defined as an inanimate object which is designed with built-in wireless connectivity, and monitored, controlled and linked over the internet. As any new technology, IoT is confusing for the normal consumer especially as debates swirl around standardization, security and privacy. This paper presents the IoT applications such as home automation, healthcare, smart grid, smart city and smart car and focuses on how to secure the generated data by IoT devices from an unauthorized access. The IoT consists of devices which are constrained in their computational capability, network bandwidth, packet size and memory such as sensor nodes. This paper demonstrates that a lightweight and mutual authentication protocols are a fundamental building block for providing the mutual authentication between user and devices in the IoT applications. Furthermore, this paper surveys some of authenticated key agreement protocols for securing IoT and presents a comparison between them in terms of security and performance.
