A Survey of IoT Security Threats and Solutions

Abstract

Security features are essential in Internet of Things (IoT) systems where replacing or updating hardware components due to security concerns is expensive (or even impossible). In this paper we make a review of the recent malware and security threats related to the IoT, then we propose a solution to run secure applications on IoT devices as a secure execution framework for the Internet of Things. Running verified bytecode in an isolated framework will assure that all the security enforcement is done by software and does not rely on the security features provided by hardware components.
