Internet of Things Security and Privacy Challenges Report

This report delves into the security and privacy challenges inherent in the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart architectures. It begins by defining IoT and its application in smart systems, highlighting the importance of addressing security concerns. The report identifies various security threats, including denial of service attacks, phishing, malware, and cyber-crimes. The research explores the vulnerabilities within IoT devices and networks. The research recommends the adoption of firewalls, encryption, and the use of authentic servers to mitigate risks and protect data. This study aims to raise awareness of IoT security issues and provide actionable recommendations for enhancing the security and privacy of IoT systems. This report is designed to guide further research and development in this critical area.

Abstract
The term IoT refers to the internet of thing that connects physical devices with
each other by using internet connectivity. It has the potential to connect two or more
physical devices with other networks in order to exchange data or information. Smart
architecture is one of the best applications of the internet of thing that control and
monitor the equipment and components of architecture systems. Security is one of the
common issues faced by the internet of thing technology which impacts on the personal
devices and networks linked with internet connectivity (Yang, Wu, Yin, Li, & Zhao,
2017). The objective of this research is to analyse security and privacy issues occurred
on the internet of thing technology and recommend several techniques for reducing
security issues and threats. It is observed that there are various kinds of security
challenges occurred in the field of IoT technology, for example, denial of service attack,
phishing attack, malware, cyber-crimes, conflict-related issues, DDOS attack and so on.
This research study focuses on the fundamental concept of IoT technology and security
related issues occurred in IoT devices (Alrawais, Alhothaily, Hu, & Cheng, 2017). We
have selected this topic for the research because it is a very common topic for research
and numbers of research papers published in the last few years which can help for a
better understanding of security issues. Moreover, it is very important to identify the
risk and threats linked with the internet of thing and computer devices. Therefore, it is
recommended that consumers should adopt a firewall, encryption and use authentic
servers during the communication process. This research study shows the security risks
and issues associated with the internet of thing technology.
