IoT Security: A Comprehensive View

With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), security has become a big concern as the size of the internet has engulfed all of the earth. IoT has given the internet the way and means to act which make the security scenario all the more difficult. Security has been the main concern in any network. Size of the network has a direct relation with the probability of a security breach. With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) era, the size of the network has extended beyond all the limits that have ever existed. It has spread all over the world. Perception layer that is the lowermost layer in IoT architecture is characterized by wireless sensor networks (WSN) and resource-constrained embedded devices. These devices are fairly limited in terms of memory, computation, power, and energy. It makes them vulnerable to a large number of attacks. Information security is of utmost importance as IoT systems automate critical applications such as traffic control etc. A number of solutions have been provided by the engineers and researchers such as blockchains, Intrusion detection systems, Lightweight cryptography, and various protocols, etc.
