IoT and Big Data Security Issues and Challenges

Abstract

Rapid usage of Internet of Things (IOT) has resulted in generating large volume of data from different heterogeneous sensor based devices that communicate with each other over the internet. Hence, biggest challenge lies in designing and adoption of efficient security mechanism in IOT based framework. Accordingly, massive volume of data is required to be analysed by using the concept of Big Data. Big data analytics comprises of different processes that is useful in analysing the data to discover some hidden patters or certain correlations that exist in the data sets. The popularity of IoT devices leads to an expensive cost resulting in loss of resources and information that are caused by security threats and attacks. Although in the literature several research proposals exist that has addressed the various concerns of Big data in IOT such as privacy involved in collecting the data, storage and analysis. However, still there is a huge gap of analyzing Big data in IOT environment. We fully investigate the security and privacy issues that are involved in Big data streaming for IOT devices.
