A Survey: Review of Cloud IoT Security Techniques, Issues and Challenges

Abstract

The Internet of things (IoT) has become a new buzzword in the emerging field of computation and research as it integrates various objects (things) to exchange data with one another without human intervention. The need for the extensive deployment of the cloud based IoT are rapidly increasing with a major security related threats. This work basically outlines existing security threats and vulnerabilities along with some of the existing security mechanisms by a comprehensive survey of existing works in the area of cloud based IoT security. This paper also outlines a brief taxonomy of the current security threats in cloud based IoT applications, architecture, and communication. In this work, we also presented a comparative analysis of various security mechanisms for IoT environment as well as compared possible security threats in the IoT. And, at the end, we presented open research issues and security implementation challenges in IoT security. This work aims to provide detailed discussion on various security mechanisms proposed as well as a useful manual of existing security threats and vulnerabilities of the cloud based IoT heterogeneous environment and proposes guidelines for improving the cloud based IoT security.
