Threats Paradigmin IoT Ecosystem

Abstract

The internet of things is one of the most innovative technology that promises to improve and optimize daily life based on sensors and smart objects. Many security issues and challenges in IoT are probed by researchers to achieve secured communication using variety of IoT devices. Basic principles of security i.e. confidentiality, integrity and availability are considered as the significant challenges for IoT. This paper gives an overview of IoT components and layers used for secured communication in IoT Ecosystem. The work also focuses on the vulnerabilities inherited in IoT ecosystem as well as the attacks which are specially targeting IoT network and three basic principles of security. Based on our study of different threats in IoT Ecosystem a threat model is recommended and classifications of threats have been done based on different real life scenarios. Further added, paper also recommends solutions and research directions with respect to security in IoT Ecosystem.
