Features and Potential Security Challenges for IoT Enabled Devices in Smart City Environment
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 8
Abstract
Introduction of Internet of Things in our lives have brought drastic changes in the social norms, working habits, ways of completing tasks and planning for future. Data about our interactions with everyday objects can be effectively transmitted to their destinations with many communicating tags that also often provide specific location information. The risk of potential eavesdropping is always a major concern of data owners. Since Internet of Things is primarily responsible for carrying data of smart objects which are mostly connected over wireless technologies, securing of information carried by these wireless links to safeguard the private information is of utmost importance. Cryptographic techniques to cypher data carried by the IoT networks is one possibility which is not feasible due to the lack of sufficient computing resources at the sensor end of IoT devices. In this paper, we discuss various security issues that haunt the secure IoT deployments and propose a layered solution model that prevents breach of security during transmission of data.
