Abstract(s)
The world is witnessing the emerging role of Internet
of Things (IoT) as a technology that is transforming different
industries, global community and its economy. Currently, a
plethora of interconnected smart devices have been deployed
for diverse pervasive applications and services, and billions
more are expected to be connected to the Internet in the
near future. The potential benefits of IoT include improved
quality of life, convenience, enhanced energy efficiency, and more
productivity. Alongside these potential benefits, however, come
increased security risks and potential for abuse. Arguably, this
is partly because many IoT start-ups and electronics hobbyists
lack security expertise, and some established companies do not
make security a priority in their designs, and hence they produce
IoT devices that are often ill-equipped in terms of security.
In this paper, we discuss different IoT application areas, and
identify security threats in IoT architecture. We consider security
requirements and present typical security threats for each of the
application domains. Finally, we present several possible security
countermeasures, and introduce the IoT Hardware Platform
Security Advisor (IoT-HarPSecA) framework, which is still under
development. IoT-HarPSecA is aimed at facilitating the design
and prototyping of secure IoT devices.
