Trust in IoT Systems: A Vision on the Current Issues, Challenges, and Recommended Solutions

Abstract

Over the recent overs, the phenomenon of Internet of Things (IoT) has grown rapidly and thus has become the focus of research. IoT involves an important set of technologies which are expected to be the next information technology revolution and the evolution of big data analytics. IoT technologies and applications are intimately associated with people; hence, trust is the major issue. To highlight this key element of IoT, this study reviews the progress of the research work related to trust in IoT and found that several issues need to be addressed. This paper also provides an insight on the challenges of trust in IoT, and some of these challenges from various aspects are precisely discussed. Moreover, existing solutions from academic, technical, and industry aspects are presented. However, many other issues and challenges remain open that needs to be considered while designing and deploying the trusted solutions in IoT environment.
