INTERNET OF THINGS PRIVACY AND SECURITY ISSUES
Introduction
Dynamic global network is considered over other terminologies of new dimensions.
Usage of mobile communication, RFID and Wireless Sensor Network has also been providing
beneficial regarding communication process. Usage of IOT has been increasing efficiency in
field of smart homes, smart transport, smart cities and smart living. Despite advantages that are
present in system, major disadvantage that is received includes affecting privacy of data that are
used in the processing of dynamic architecture. This ensures that execution of venture will be at
stake as data that will be stored in the database of system. This report will provide literature
review regarding issues that are present in the system along with issue mitigation process.
Literature Review
Security Issues
According to Yang et al. (2017), security issues that affects functioning of IOT includes
usage of insufficient testing and updating of system, presence of brute forcing and default
password related issues, IOT malware, IOT botnets and implementation of AI in system.
Insufficient Testing and Updating
According to Yi, Qin and Li (2015), it is estimated that there are 23 billion devices that
are connected with platform of IOT. It is expected that there will be a rise in usage of IOT. Most
of products among these are not provided with proper updates. This issue makes devices more
vulnerable for imposters to gain access to data that are stored in database of systems. The devices
that fails to receive proper updates were once considered to be a secured device, but with passing
time and least updates, robustness of security infrastructure reduces. Firmware update provided
