Internet of Things in Cyber Security Scope

Overview Of Iot Technologies

The concept of the internet of things started in 1998 and was introduced by Kevin Ashton in 1999 as it endeavors to take advantage of the smart technology by connecting anything anytime and anywhere and reduces the physical work by automation (Patra & Rao, 2016). As per The International Telecommunication Union definition, the Internet of Things is an international infrastructure for an information society that enables improved services to connect things physically or virtually based on communication technologies and interoperable data. PDA’s, smartphones, tablets, laptops, and many other handheld devices(Viel, Silva, Valderi Leithardt, & Zeferino, 2019)(Chopra, Gupta, & Lambora, 2019). Like any technology, IoT has specific characteristics. In this section, IoT elements, architecture, applications, communications technologies, major constrains, security requirements and attacks, analysis of IoT security solutions and future direction and suggestion of security responses in IoT will be discussed.
