Literature Review
IoT- an emerging technology
The main aim of this paper is to prepare a literature review on the topic IoT. IoT is one of
the most emerging technologies that are being developed for the purpose of making the
surroundings smart. With the implementation of IoT it became easy to interact with everyone.
Internet of tings has become the extension of internet connectivity and allows every physical
device to interact with each other. IoT has found great importance in healthcare industry, in
educational fields and in the fields of automobiles. This is basically referred to the interrelated
computing devices that have the potential to share data over a network without human
interference.
Security issues faced with IoT
Internet of things is basically a technology that provides an effective way of interacting
with the devices. Nowadays IoT applications are being implemented within houses for making it
smart house. However while deploying IoT within a particular device it is observed that there
arises a huge number security related concerns. Several articles have stated that there are huge
gap in the IoT technology when it comes on security. With the continuous lack in security it is
observed that the technology is facing serious operational issues. These issues are high profile
attacks, device hacking or mass exploitation of the device. Thus it becomes essential to have a
proper security evaluation that will ensure proper safety towards the home based IoT devices.
Apart from this there are several researchers who came up with new thoughts for standardizing
the IoT application however none of them agreed on a particular solution. Thus it becomes
important to have a better knowledge about the impacts of using IoT in home based applications.
