A New Efficient and Secure Architecture Model for Internet of Things

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is considered as one of the latest intelligent communication technologies in the world. IoT has been growing in different architectural designs which contributes to the connection between heterogeneous IoT devices. Although, there are many different IoT architectures have been proposed, but they are still suffering from many challenges such as standardization, security, and privacy. This paper will focus on reviewing some existing IoT architectures used to provide security and privacy for IoT networks. Moreover, this paper will introduce a novel IoT security architecture model named IoT-EAA. IoT-EAA tends to satisfy different requirements of IoT security. Hence, the novelty of the proposed IoT-EAA architecture model comes from an important layer called the security layer. This layer employs an external and internal security service against different attacks for each layer within the IoT-EAA architecture model. The proposed architecture model is compared to existing IoT architectures based on several criteria such as security, power and time consumption. Therefore, the proposed IoT-EAA increases security and decrease the power and time consumption, which consider an important contribution to improving the performance of IoT architecture.
