The Internet of Things Security Challenges: Survey

Abstract

AbstractThe Internet of Things (IoT) and its security issues have been gaining interest in recent years. It is more than necessary to tackle these issues as soon as possible and to find specific solutions to the IoT which will allow it to attain its full maturity and enable us to take advantage of the facilitations it brings to our daily life. In order to do so, it is necessary to identify and to master the ins and outs of the problem which is developed in the present paper. This paper aims on the one hand to present the Internet of Things in a succession of point, and on the other hand to address the security challenges regarding each one of the said points. Moreover, we discuss the properties of the IoT in relation to traditional networks, the level of security required according to the area of application, and security from a point of view of the actors of the IoT ecosystem. Besides, the existing architectures are examined, a comparative table is drawn up, and the results are discussed in order to allow the positioning of future research and to better understand the security issue.KeywordsInternet of ThingsSecurityActors of IoT ecosystem
