Abstract
Abstract This paper presents a review of state-of-the-art security frameworks for IoT applications. It aims to find out what alternatives have been proposed to guide IoT application developers in the implementation of security measures through all development phases. In this literature review, we identified 21 security frameworks, and we analyzed them from IoT application domains addressed and IoT elements protected. We find four application domains: generic, smart cities, smart car/VANET, and smart infrastructures. Concerning elements protected, we analyzed the frameworks through protected application resources and we also consider security properties in this paper. Our two principal findings are: (i) Even though there are a wide variety of security frameworks, we did not find a proposal that addresses all the layers of an IoT application (device, network, service and application) and all development phases (analysis, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance), (ii) Addressing security from the design phase allows IoT developers to have a broader perspective of the system, avoiding massive changes to be made in later stages, saving costs and time. This gap and concerns enable various research on security by design and secure development to be carried out, and proposed frameworks to address the identified problems.

Summary
Abstract: This paper presents a review of state-of-the-art security frameworks for IoT applications It aims to find out what alternatives have been proposed to guide IoT application developers in the implementation of security measures through all development phases. We identified 21 security frameworks, and we analyzed them from IoT application domains addressed and IoT elements protected. Our focus is on the security frameworks that guide or facilitate the implementation of security measures in IoT applications on the design phase of development. Numerous literature review papers address security in IoT These works have focus on a wide variety of topics, among which are security challenges, security and privacy issues, cyber-attacks, and various proposals and technologies to address those. There are security reviews for specific areas or domains such as smart homes, smart health, and smart cars among others
