Abstract
With the prosperity of the Internet of Things (IoT) industry environment, the variety and quantity of IoT devices have grown rapidly. IoT devices have been widely used in smart homes, smart wear, smart manufacturing, smart cars, smart medical care, and many other life-related fields. With it, security vulnerabilities of IoT devices are emerging endlessly. The proliferation of security vulnerabilities will bring severe risks to users’ privacy and property. This paper first describes the research background, including IoT architecture, device components, and attack surfaces. We review state-of-the-art research on IoT device vulnerability discovery, detection, mitigation, and other related works. Then, we point out the current challenges and opportunities by evaluation. Finally, we forecast and discuss the research directions on vulnerability analysis techniques of IoT devices.
Highlights
Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming the most popular and practical online platform
We evaluate the current research of vulnerability analysis on IoT devices
IoT security researchers have discovered a large number of application vulnerabilities developed by manufacturers, including backdoors that are unknown for some reason
Summary
Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming the most popular and practical online platform. It connects various sensors and controllers to the Internet and helps to achieve seamless communication between people and things. The total number of current active IoT devices has reached 7 billion [1] They have been widely used in smart homes, smart wear, smart manufacturing, smart car, smart medical care, and many other life-related fields. We find that the current study focuses on IoT security issues and lack analysis techniques. In this kind of vulnerability analysis, they mainly focus on vulnerability discovery and detection and lack attention to the techniques of vulnerability mitigation. We evaluate the current research of vulnerability analysis on IoT devices.
