Internet of Things: Security vulnerabilities and challenges
Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) has been given a lot of emphasis since the 90s when it was first proposed as an idea of interconnecting different electronic devices through a variety of technologies. However, during the past decade IoT has rapidly been developed without appropriate consideration of the profound security goals and challenges involved. This study explores the security aims and goals of IoT and then provides a new classification of different types of attacks and countermeasures on security and privacy. It then discusses future security directions and challenges that need to be addressed to improve security concerns over such networks and aid in the wider adoption of IoT by masses.

It is challenging to protect IoT networks against malware attacks, eavesdropping, DoS attacks, and virus injection.
“As such, it is challenging to protect all these networks against malware attacks, eavesdropping, DoS attacks, and virus injection [76,130].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
