Gurinder Singh, Parveen K. Bangotra · Apple Academic Press eBooks · 2021
Internet of Things (IoT) is the buzz word in today’s developing world. IoT devices are used in a multiple fields whether it is the industry, agriculture, defense, weather forecasting, or home automation. As IoT is spreading at an immense rate in various fields, the main concern is how reliable the security is? The data can be compromised as the devices are vulnerable to attackers/hackers. This can also compromise privacy and security. This paper examines the various vulnerabilities in IoT devices, whether it is machine-to-machine, device-to-device, or device-to-cloud. Discussed are the vulnerabilities in terms of devices, networks, back-end IT systems, communication protocols, and front-end sensors/actuators. An IoT device is cracked, the vulnerabilities are listed, and a few security solutions are discussed. Overall, this paper covers the attack surfaces associated with the vulnerability of IoT.
