Secure management of logs in internet of things
This tackles the problem of secure log management for IoT systems, but it appears incremental as it offers an overview rather than a novel solution.
The paper addresses the challenge of efficiently and securely storing log files generated by billions of IoT devices, which produce large volumes of real-time data, by providing an overview of methods to maintain confidentiality and integrity.
Ever since the advent of computing, managing data has been of extreme importance. With innumerable devices getting added to network infrastructure, there has been a proportionate increase in the data which needs to be stored. With the advent of Internet of Things (IOT) it is anticipated that billions of devices will be a part of the internet in another decade. Since those devices will be communicating with each other on a regular basis with little or no human intervention, plethora of real time data will be generated in quick time which will result in large number of log files. Apart from complexity pertaining to storage, it will be mandatory to maintain confidentiality and integrity of these logs in IOT enabled devices. This paper will provide a brief overview about how logs can be efficiently and securely stored in IOT devices.
