Security Issues in Internet of Things (IoT): Challenges and Solutions

Abstract

IOT is a general topic for research purpose. IOT is quite popular and has become a vital part of our lives. IOT is crucial to self-sufficiency, smart environments, health care, smart cities, and micro-grid systems. If we talk about the meaning of the internet of things, it is defined as the paradigm which involves objects that provide actuators, sensors and processors that communicate with one another for serving the meaningful purposes. Sensing, Processing and data transmission are the three important components of IOT. IOT technology improved great in recent year but there are still some problems in IOT which require the attention. One of the main problems is security. Security is crucial for IOT devices due to sensor’s generation and sharing of personal data and blending the physical and digital realms. Implementation of encryption methods are crucial for IOT system. So, the main objective of this article to pinpoint the challenges for the security and problems which arise in environment of IOT. Security is one of the key concern with IOT technology. In this paper we explained security problems, challenges and solution of internet of things.
