Abstract(s)
The Internet of Things (IoT) is an environment in which ordinary and
complex consumer products, buildings, bridges, animals or even people, etc. are
embedded with sensors, equipped with a variety of communication technologies
and given unique identifiers that can enable them connect to the Internet. This
allows them to talk to each other, collect data and transfer data over the Internet.
IoT has the potential to enhance the way we do things by increasing productivity
and efficiency. It also has the prospects of delivering significant business benefits.
Nonetheless, implementing secure communication in the IoT and integrating
security mechanisms into some of its devices have been a major impediment to its
progress, resulting in many privacy concerns. Although IoT is a hybrid network of
the Internet, many security solutions for the Internet cannot be directly used on the
resource-constrained devices of the IoT, hence the need for new security solutions.
In this chapter, we discuss the security challenges of the IoT. First, we discuss
some basic concepts of security and security requirements in the context of IoT.
We then consider fundamental security issues in the IoT and thereafter highlight
the security issues that need immediate attention.
