ISSUES OF INTERNET OF THINGSIntroductionInternet of things is one of the next-generation technologies. It mainly consists of all devices that have been connected via the internet. In the year 2014, it was predicted that by the time we reach 2020, there will be over twenty-five billion devices connected to the internet of things (Bennett, 2015). These devices are the ones we use every day and are internet-enabled, or they could be devices that can only be used while connected in a networked environment. Internet of things just like any technology does not come without problems.Problem overviewInternet of things brings with it as many disadvantages as it does bring advantages. We are talking about billions of connected devices that means that there are as many interconnects. With all these devices connected, the most significant challenge that arises is how to manage these devices while ensuring privacy given the fact of the existing connections. Confidentialityof data, files, information, and users including their data is always a concern (Singer J, 2002). People share their data over the internet; names, emails, credit/debit card numbers, socio securitynumbers among other confidential info. Now, the question is, with all these shared data and the billion interconnections, how do we ensure that sensitive data does not fall into the wrong hands?Research issuesPrivacy of data and users of the internet of thingsNaming and organization of the devices connected to the internet of thingsTracking and monitoring of connected devicesCommunication between all the devices

ISSUES OF INTERNET OF THINGSResearch issues related to Internet of Things In the year 2014, it was predicted that by the time we reach 2020, there will be over twenty-five billion devices connected to the internet of things. These devices are the ones we useevery day and are internet-enabled, or they could be devices that can only be used while connected in a networked environment. Internet of things just like any technology does not comewithout problems. It raises concerns like:How will these billions of devices be named, organized and managed?Naming problems can be resolved by use of Dynamic Naming System – DNS, Devices that needto be connected to the internet will have unique IP addresses assigned to them. How will they communicate with each other midst billions and billions of interconnections? Communication between servers and client is provided by TCP/IP model. The clientdoes not need to communicate to other clients as they are not offering any service.How will we keep track and monitor all the devices? This invokes the question of privacyof these devices and their users.How will the performance of these devices be determined and improved when the needarises? As technological advancements grow each day, more and more gigabytes of data will be sent to cloud thereby stressing the network.What of the privacy of all these devices? How will it be guaranteed? We can use big data and intelligence tools to alert us when there is a breach of privacy.Maintenance is critical. How will we maintain billions of connected devices?
