SPIoT: Security and Privacy Concerns on Internet of Things

IoT can interconnect billions of devices (such as smartphones, sensors and alternative networking devices), to speak with one another. The IoT is the collection of devices, people and services to interconnect and exchange information and useful data. IoT may be a system wherever objects embedded with detector technology to act with one another over wireless communication medium to come up with, exchange and transfer knowledge without human interaction. This interconnection is relevant in many ways like timely coordination with many simple devices and due to open and heterogeneous nature of these networks; they are highly prone to vulnerable attacks. As IoT systems will be ubiquitous and pervasive, a number of security and privacy issues will arise. So privacy and security is the biggest concern in this technology. It covers privacy and security concerns in different segments like web interface vulnerabilities, device connections, spamming, data storage issues, IoT network related problems and many privacy preserving mechanisms. The goal of this paper to present the privacy and security problems that IoT environment is facing and existing mechanisms to protect it. For Internet of Things, credible, economical, efficient and effective security and privacy are required to ensure exact and accurate confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and access control, among others.
