As wireless sensor networks, ubiquitous computing, and machine-to-machine (M2M) communication progress, the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) is gaining traction in information and communications technology (ICT). The IoT is a network of electronic and mechanical devices such as watches and bicycles linked to electronic devices, sensors, and software. Network connectivity allows these devices to gather and exchange data. Nonetheless, as the network grows with so many IoT device connections, security becomes a major concern. Presented here is an overview of the IoT, including the security challenges associated with IoT devices, as well as a classification of the types of attacks on communicating IoT devices. The quality of service (QoS) associated with an IoT environment is also discussed. Furthermore, different layers of security were discussed to provide ample research opportunities to the researchers working in this field. Also, a number of solutions are identified to existing challenges and future directions are provided for addressing IoT security issues.
