Designing and Executing Security Solutions for IoT-5G Environment

The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) with 5G networks presents a transformative approach to modern connectivity solutions, yet it introduces significant security challenges. This paper focuses on the design and implementation of robust security techniques tailored for IoT-5G systems. We commence by analyzing the unique security requirements posed by the confluence of IoT devices and 5G technology, emphasizing the need for advanced security protocols to address increased data volumes, device heterogeneity, and potential vulnerabilities. Subsequently, we propose a comprehensive security framework that includes innovative encryption methods, intrusion detection systems, and secure communication protocols specifically developed for the IoT-5G environment. Our approach integrates multi-layered security mechanisms to ensure data integrity, confidentiality, and availability across the network. The effectiveness of our proposed techniques is demonstrated through a series of simulations and real-world deployments, showcasing significant enhancements in security and resilience for IoT-5G systems. This study contributes to the field by providing a practical and scalable security solution, paving the way for secure and reliable IoT-5G integration in various applications, from smart cities to industrial automation

Security and privacy issues of physical objects in the IoT: Challenges and opportunities

In the Internet of Things (IoT), security and privacy issues of physical objects are crucial to the related applications. In order to clarify the complicated security and privacy issues, the life cycle of a physical object is divided into three stages of pre-working, in-working, and post-working. On this basis, a physical object-based security architecture for the IoT is put forward. According to the security architecture, security and privacy requirements and related protecting technologies for physical objects in different working stages are analyzed in detail. Considering the development of IoT technologies, potential security and privacy challenges that IoT objects may face in the pervasive computing environment are summarized. At the same time, possible directions for dealing with these challenges are also pointed out

Threats and Challenges for Security Measures on the Internet of Things

[Purpose] The Internet of Things (IoT) has grown rapidly in the past few years and billions of devices are connected to the IoT network for collecting and sharing data globally for various applications. Due to the billions of connected devices, there is a potential risk of data loss, identity theft, device manipulation, trust issues, falsification of data, network/server manipulation, and various impacts in the application of IoT platforms. The IoT-enabled devices are growing rapidly day by day leading to amplify the threats to the reliability of the network. [Methodology/Approach/design] The research work aims to push the present state of the art by identifying privacy and security requirements that IoT is presently needed. [Findings] Various existing solutions for security in IoT and their limitations are addressed. Security issues such as trust based privacy policies for context-awareness, efficient holistic frameworks, and lightweight strategy for system resource constraints are identified. [Practical Implications] The technological age of IoT will be relying on a large number of devices is forecast to expand substantially. Although many of the technology-related privacy and security challenges exist, developers and researchers need to work in collaboration to resolve those threats, as they have accomplished with several other related technologies

IoT Protocols And Security

During the past years, there has been an exponential growth of internet connected devices all over the world. In future the growth of these devices is expected to grow at the higher rate. There are some studies estimating that Internet of Things (IoT) will be able to connects 500 billion devices by 2030. IoT smart devices are remotely accessible and are possible to control using existing network infrastructure. At present, the usage of Internet of Things has increased rapidly. IoT is a dynamic global network between smart objects or things connected over the internet. IoT wireless network can connect anyone with anything at any place. With the rapid growth of IoT, security threats and vulnerabilities of the linked objects are also increasing continuously. Now, IoT security has become the most paramount technological research work over the world. The main objective of all IoT applications is to maintaining privacy and secure data transmission between devices. Due to the heterogeneous characteristics and constrained devices it is challenging to deploy security mechanisms in IoT compare to traditional network. In this thesis, we highlight the importance of security in the IoT sector by studying a wide range of IoT security issues. Furthermore, we described several challenges derived from the existing IoT protocols and the security features of IoT protocols are also explained. In addition, implementation of UDP communication protocol and MQTT protocol using Contiki OS and Zolertia RE-Mote devices are added to the work. Cryptographic methods AES [1] and ECC [2] are described in the thesis and the implementation of AES-128 to secure device communication and ECC key generation process are also added to the thesis work

An Anthology of Next-Generation WSNs and Transformative IoT Use-Cases

The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm brought an ever-increasing dependence on low-power devices to collect sensor data and transmit that information to the cloud, placing greater demand on connectivity and lifespan. In response, rapid worldwide innovation demonstrates the trade-offs in processing, communication, and energy consumption with diverse approaches to low-power components, duty-cycle schemes, cost, and many other critical constraints for complex use-cases, such as track-and-trace (T&T). This work explores the central theme of low-power wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in the IoT and Industrial IoT (IIoT). A collection of publications evolves through the theme, from an IoT literature review to enabling densely-scalable WSNs for logistics & asset management (LAM). Next, this research enhances the WSN design by leveraging wake-up radio (WUR) and energy harvesting (EH) to achieve battery-free operation. Lastly, this work presents WSNs to improve visibility and control of airflow/microclimate management in potentially transformative IIoT use-cases, such as data centers and agriculture
