IOT COMMUNICATION SECURITY: CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS

Abstract

This paper investigates the obstacles and resolutions concerning the security of communicationin the Internet of Things (IoT). It commences with a discussion of the remarkable proliferationof internet-connected devices, ranging from personal computers to mobile devices, and now tothe era of IoT and IoE. The paper illuminates the impact of IoT on network addresses, leading tothe depletion of IPv4 addresses and the necessity for address translation services. Subsequently,the article delves into the risks confronted by IoT systems, encompassing physical and digitalassaults, unauthorized access, system failures, as well as diverse forms of malicious software. Thesignificance of IoT security in industrial and agricultural systems is underscored. Finally, the paperconcludes by presenting strategies to combat these risks, including antivirus countermeasures,safeguards against Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks, and security considerations inIoT systems for agriculture. In essence, this paper offers valuable insights into the challenges andsolutions associated with ensuring the security of IoT communication.
