MN502 Network Security: Analyzing Security Challenges & Solutions

This report addresses the security challenges within emerging Internet of Things (IoT) networks, focusing on key issues such as data encryption, data authentication, and hardware vulnerabilities. It highlights the increasing prevalence of IoT technology across various sectors and the associated security risks that arise from data collection, processing, and potential hacking attempts. The report emphasizes the importance of hardware security, noting that manufacturers are actively working to address these concerns. It proposes mitigation strategies, particularly pre-installation system testing, to identify and resolve potential vulnerabilities related to device range, capacity, latency, and manufacturability. The report references academic sources to support its analysis of fog computing and the broader implications of IoT in engineering, policy, and industry.

Internet of Things

 The most modern technology that is famous
worldwide is Internet of Things. Different features
of business, implementation and research that
are related with Internet of Things are needed in
industries, government and academics.
 Different domain verticals applications are done
by Internet of Things that ranges from civil sector
to defense sector.
 It is that it is an important part in the technology
sector of engineering, policy and industry.
Defination

 Data Encryption- Numerous amounts of data is
collected by the devices of Internet of Things. Data
processing and data retrieval is considered as the
internal part of the Internet of Things environment.
 Data Authentication- When the data is encrypted, and
then comes the chance of getting hacked. The data is
to be protected from hacking.
 Hardware Issues- The hardware creates a problem from
the beginning of Internet of Things. The makers of
Internet of Things devices, the chipmakers of devices
such as Intel and ARM are focusing more on security
purpose because with all time new generation evolving,
new ways are coming to as a risk to the devices.
Three Security Issues of IoT

 The solution for mitigating risk that is
related to hardware security is done by
testing the system before the framework is
being installed.
 The best and most significant way to
mitigate the security risk of hardware in
Internet of Things is to test the framework
of the place. The testing procedure
includes- device range, capacity and
latency and manufacturability test.
