The embedded framework for securing the Internet of Things

Abstract

The smart devices connected on the internet turn to be the internet of things, which connect other objects or devices through unique identifiers with the capability of transferring and receiving the information over the internet. There are numerous applications in different areas such as healthcare, home automation, transportation, military, agriculture, and still so many sectors that incorporate cutting-edge technologies of communication, networking, cloud computing, sensing, and actuation. With this huge increase in the number of connected devices, a strong security mechanism is required to protect the IoT devices. Hence, it is required to focus on the challenges and issues of IoT enabled applications to safeguard the entire network from the outside invasion. This paper discusses some of the challenges in building IoT applications, a detailed study of the existing security protocols, and its issues, and the potential of the IoT.
