Abstract

Background: Internet of Things (IoT) has the potential for societal, environmental as well as economic impact. This comes with a huge responsibility, that of securing all the communications, data and participating things. Method: Surveys and comparative studies are used for understanding the security in IoT. Findings: This paper surveys the IoT at the architectural and protocol stack level. We outline an effective architectural and stack level restructuring. The integration issues at the IPv6 enabled Low Power Wireless Personal Area Network (6LoWPAN) layer along with the security challenges and existing solutions are discussed and summarized under the chosen parameters. These parameters are Privacy, Authentication, Confidentiality, Denial of Service (DOS) Protect, Replay Protect, Impersonate Protect, End-to-End(E2E) Security.

Keywords

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a novel paradigm which is rapidly gaining ground in the scenario of modern wireless telecommunications among devices associated with Internet. Objectives: The main objective of this paper is to discuss the various architectures of IoT from the RFC perspective and layered approach. It also focuses on applications of IOT in various areas and analysis of security protocols of IoT for the resource constrained devices. Method/Analysis: In view of this, the study is carried out by systematic review of scholarly articles and research papers. Findings: The device can communicate with each other directly within the same network, through the cloud services or indirectly through some gateway application and even through some third party where aggregation and analysis of data can take place. When the cloud services are used to communicate, interoperability among the IP and Non-IP based devices is the major concern. In case of layered architecture the number of layers decides the complexity of the architecture. Five layered architecture is the ideal architecture from the perspective of security as well as compatibility. In all the architectures discussed it is observed that, there is a need to focus more on interoperability and standardization which is essential for the security features.
