Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a new stage of human informatization development after the Internet. With the IoT, physical devices can seamlessly exchange and process data with each other, further improving the human ability to process information. However, Internet of Things security research is still preliminary despite frequent data breaches and security incidents. This paper starts with the introduction of the IoT and introduces its definition, technical characteristics, and hierarchical architecture of the IoT. After that, the security threats that may be encountered at each layer are discussed, and finally, the ways to enhance the security of IoT. This paper aims to examine the security issues that arise in the IoT system and investigate the security measures that can be employed to serve as security technology guidelines for constructing secure IoT systems.
