Internet of Things Security: Attacks, Solutions, Strengths and Limitations

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) has become an intangible part of regular life over the past decade. There are innovations in new wearable smart devices to various domestic appliances on a very regular basis. But IoT devices owing to the intricacy they have with our daily lives also usually store a large amount of sensitive data making IoT devices target large information security attacks. In this article, we have attempted to accumulate various security threats that IoT devices can face and the current landscape of research on countermeasures for the same. Later, we have presented a contrast to analyse the difference between major security frameworks and their efficacy. The research is further concluded on examination of potential research dimensions, scope, and related challenges in multiple research aspects.
