Internet of Thing (IoT) Privacy and Security Issues

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network that connects various devices to the Internet using specific protocols, allowing for the exchange of information and communication to enable smart functionalities such as recognition, positioning, tracing, monitoring, and administration. This paper provides a brief overview of IoT, its enabling technologies, architecture, characteristics, security threats, potential remedies, and applications. It also discusses the functional view of IoT and future challenges. The main advantage of IoT is its significant impact in creating a new dimension in the world. Key features necessary for implementing a large-scale IoT include low-cost sensors, high-speed and error-tolerant data communications, intelligent computations, and a wide range of applications. This research is presented in four main sections: an overview of IoT technology, a summary of related surveys, a review of main IoT applications, and a section on security challenges, potential attacks, and solutions for IoT.
