Security analysis of the Internet of Things: A systematic literature review

Abstract

Nowadays people are increasingly dependent on the Internet to conduct their daily activities. As a result of this has emerged the Internet of Things (IoT). Therefore, it has significantly increased the devices connected to the Internet; reaching around of 20 billion connected devices, and is expected to reach 50 billion in 2020. This has created great challenges for maintaining security and privacy of information because most mobile devices focus on connectivity and are including default settings where security is severely affected. This paper presents the results obtained by the protocol of systematic review to establish the current state of security in IoT devices. As a result of the review the main concerns, threats, attacks, challenges, and some countermeasures were detected.
