Comprehensive Report: IoT Device Security Challenges and Solutions

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of security issues in IoT devices. It begins by highlighting the increasing popularity of IoT devices and their applications in various fields, such as smart homes and smart cities, while emphasizing the importance of security in this environment. The report identifies key security challenges, including the resource-constrained nature of IoT devices, which limits the implementation of sophisticated security algorithms. It also discusses the vulnerability of interconnected devices and the potential for exploiting one device to compromise others. The report outlines its structure, including an abstract, introduction, literature review, proposed solutions, and conclusion. The literature review will cover existing research on IoT security, and the proposed solution section will analyze methods for enhancing device security. The report stresses the need to design security algorithms that consider the limitations of IoT devices, such as limited storage and processing power, to ensure effective security measures.

Purpose of the report
The main purpose of this report is to analyse security issues in IoT devices. Over the
years the popularity of IoT devices increasing recently and it is being considered in various
applications from designing smart devices to designing Smart City, these devices are being
considered everywhere (Khan & Salah, 2018). However, security remains an important
concern in the IT environment and this report and comprehensive review regarding security
issues in IoT devices are provided. Not only security issues but Strategies for mitigating the
issues are analysed as well (Ammar, Russello & Crispo, 2018). However, the purpose of this
report is not to make this report overly complicated with technical terms what to offer and
meaningful Insight to security issues regarding the application of IoT devices.
Analysis of position on this topic
As more and more IoT devices are being applied in the various application the
number of devices in the IoT environment is significant of large amount. As the devices are
connected through various sensors and internet it was a greater security challenge to not
designers. By exploiting security of one of the devices it is possible to affect the security of
other devices as well (Wurm et al., 2016). As these devices are connected through networks it
is possible to access data if access to one of these devices is ensured through the exploitation
of security strategies.
Therefore securing these IoT devices is of significant importance. If the security of
this device is not ensured then it is not possible to ensure that the design and implementation
of IoT devices in smart applications are not effective and efficient as well.
Analysis of the expected format of this report
The expected format for this report is the following:

Analysis of problem statement
To to make of an overall IoT application secured securing IoT devices is important.
However, it is important to identify that while designing security algorithms for IoT
environment important parameters Need to be considered. First of all IoT devices Does not
have a large amount of storage and resource-constrained nature of It environment is another
significant challenge in designing security algorithms (Xu, Wendt & Potkonjak, 2014). It is
not possible to implement. Sophisticated security algorithms for IoT devices at it don't have

much memory and storage which are required for this implementation. Therefore security
algorithm has to be designed in such a way that these constraints are taken into consideration
while making IoT devices secured from illegal access. Therefore designing security
algorithms and making IoT devices secured is a significant challenge.
