IoT Security Challenges and Solutions Research

Abstract

IoT is one of the emerging technologies, which is getting attention in not only academic fields, but also in industries and household use as well.  Connecting sensors embedded in different devices through the internet is integrating both the digital and physical worlds. IoT is offering huge business values to the organizations and providing different opportunities for applications like energy, healthcare, transportation, manufacturing. As a new emerging technology, IoT is facing many security challenges, including security breaking, unauthorized access to the devices, issues related to Data safety, botnets and malware attacks, and the hijacking devices.

To deal with the security issues, many solutions are introduced and being implemented, which include encryption of data, use of Software-defined networking architecture, different practices to keep data safe, and other security protocols. This paper discusses the IoT and its widespread, the importance of security for IoT, challenges for IoT security, and their solution and effect of devices’ vulnerabilities on users.
