Study of Security Issues in Pervasive Environment of Next Generation Internet of Things
This is an incremental review paper identifying security problems for IoT developers and users as networks transition to IPv6 and cloud-based architectures.
The paper examines security challenges in next-generation IoT environments, where new addressing schemes and cloud integration introduce novel threats that existing security solutions cannot adequately address.
Internet of Things is a novel concept that semantically implies a world-wide network of uniquely addressable interconnected smart objects. It is aimed at establishing any paradigm in computing. This environment is one where the boundary between virtual and physical world is eliminated. As the network gets loaded with hitherto unknown applications, security threats also become rampant. Current security solutions fail as new threats appear to de-struct the reliability of information. The network has to be transformed to IPv6 enabled network to address huge number of smart objects. Thus new addressing schemes come up with new attacks. Real time analysis of information from the heterogeneous smart objects needs use of cloud services. This can fall prey to cloud specific security threats. Therefore need arises for a review of security threats for a new area having huge demand. Here a study of security issues in this domain is briefly presented.
