Security Flaws in Wireless Sensor Networks and Authentication Procedures for Internet of Things

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a new paradigm in which everyday products and tools are networked and shared amongst people and other devices. As a result of the benefits it provides to homeowners in terms of convenience and efficiency, IoT technology is expected to become a critical component in the creation of smart homes. Integrity, authenticity, and confidentiality of the data sensed, gathered, and transferred by IoT items in smart homes provide additional security and privacy problems brought on by the application of the IoT model. Because of these issues, smart homes based on the Internet of Things are not secure and are susceptible to a wide variety of security threats. A comprehensive risk assessment should precede any security measures in order to identify and resolve any underlying concerns. Analytical representation based on assessing security issues shows that the suggested method reduces throughputs by 5–17%, latency by 0–0.08, and time by 1–3% compared to the FBC approach and the EESCFD method.
