Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) is the utmost assuring framework to facilitate human life with quality and comfort. IoT has contributed significantly to numerous application areas. The stormy expansion of smart devices and their credence for data transfer using wireless mechanics boost their susceptibility to cyberattacks. Consequently, the cybercrime rate is increasing day by day. Hence, the study of IoT security threats and possible corrective measures can benefit researchers in identifying appropriate solutions to deal with various challenges in cybercrime investigation. IoT forensics plays a vital role in cybercrime investigations. This review paper presents an overview of the IoT framework consisting of IoT architecture, protocols, and technologies. Various security issues at each layer and corrective measures are also discussed in detail. This paper also presents the role of IoT forensics in cybercrime investigation in various domains like smart homes, smart cities, automated vehicles, and healthcare. The role of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud computing, edge computing, fog computing, and blockchain technology in cybercrime investigation is also discussed. Lastly, various open research challenges in IoT to assist cybercrime investigation are explained to provide a new direction for further research.
Highlights
The term “Internet of Things” (IoT) characterizes the network of devices—“things”—which are equipped with different types of sensors, advanced technologies, and software
At the end of the paper, various open research challenges in an IoT environment that contribute towards the process of IoT forensic to aid the process of cybercrime investigation are presented
The growing practice of IoT devices in various domains related to business and personal life has put personal and data security at greater risk
Summary
The term “Internet of Things” (IoT) characterizes the network of devices—“things”—which are equipped with different types of sensors, advanced technologies, and software. The era of IoT-enabled devices is blooming expeditiously This rapid development is introducing both opportunities and obstacles for the identification of physical and cyber threats [12]. These attacks are malignant actions intended to damage significant data and information and to disturb important services [13, 14] in different types of IoT devices equipped with sensors [15]. It visualizes the novelty of this survey as much emphasis is focused on cybercrimes, patents reported, and real-time applications developed to mitigate the problems occurring due to cybercrimes in IoT devices.
