Abstract(s)
The current vision of the Internet of Things (IoT) is to ensure that everything from
everywhere is connected to the Internet at all times using Internet Protocol (IP).
This idea has the potential of making homes, cities, electric grids, among others,
safer, more efficient, and easier to manage. Nevertheless, a number of obstacles still
remain to fully realize the IoT vision, with security and privacy among the most critical.
Ensuring security and privacy in the IoT is particularly complicated, especially
for the resource-constrained devices due to finite energy supply and low computing
power. These factors are typically at odds with most of the existing security protocols
and schemes proposed for the IoT because of the intensive computational nature
of the cryptographic algorithms involved. This paper performs an extensive comparison
of previous surveys on the subject, and shows its novelty with respect to the
previous work. It describes 9 application domains and presents, in detail, security
requirements, system models, threat models along with protocols and technologies
for those 9 application areas. The survey also performs an exhaustive examination
of some existing mechanisms and approaches proposed in the literature for ensuring
security and privacy of IoT devices. Finally, it outlines some open research issues
associated with IoT security.
