Security and Privacy Mechanism in IoT

Abstract

IoT is a new platform for connection smart devices in the network. It is domain where objects and people are associated, and they trade information over the connection using embedded sensors. “The key thought of the Internet of Things is link embedded devices to everyday objects to make them shrewd devices.” As large devices are connecting day by day into a network, huge amount of data is also generated. “So the success of IoT is strongly depends upon the security and privacy.” In this thesis we have discuss about the IoT security, also discuss the Security architecture of IoT which further categorized in two types i.e. off -line architecture and On-line architecture and listed various attacks in IoT which distort the normal functioning of the IoT architectures. In the case of IoT there are various key challenges as compared to the traditional network model. So the traditional technique of security and privacy problems that were initially intended for the Internet will not function because these solutions require a huge quantity of resources and energy, which constrained devices most likely do not possess. So there is need to upgrade the implementations designs to cop up security and privacy challenges in the IoT.
