A Novel Secure Architecture for the Internet of Things

The "Internet of Things"(IoT) opens opportunities for devices and softwares to share information on an unprecedented scale. However, such a large interconnected network poses new challenges to system developers and users. In this article, we propose a layered architecture of IoT system. Using this model, we try to identify and assess each layer's challenges. We also discuss several existing technologies that can be used make this architecture secure.
