An analysis of secure MANET routing features to maintain confidentiality and integrity in IoT routing

The Internet of Things (IoT) is fast becoming a global phenomenon and many issues are arising such as standardization, deployment of IPv6, sensors’ energy requirements and security among others. However, without a secure network routing system IoT nodes will be exposed to malicious activities on the network, data compromises, privacy invasion and even acts of terrorism could be perpetrated via the teeming billions of IoT nodes. Various MANETs secure routing protocols have been proposed by researchers which could be utilized in the development of secure routing protocols for the Internet of things, thus the study of these secure MANET routing protocols will give a direction for the development and incorporation of secure routing in the Internet of Things. This paper surveys secure routing protocols in MANETs while proposing some secure MANET routing features for enshrining confidentiality and integrity in IoT routing. This paper also discusses research trends and future directions in the area of security of IoT networks

Wireless networks are very exposed to the danger of security. The majority of in military, commercial, health, retail, and transportation wireless communication network is used. These systems utilize networks that are wired, mobile, or adhoc. The Internet of Things (IoT) was quite attractive. The future of the Internet is regarded by IoT. In the future, IoT plays an important part and affects our way of life, norms, and business methods. IoT use is predicted to expand quickly in the next years in many applications. The IoT provides for the connection and information sharing of billions of equipment, people, and services. As IoT devices are being used more widely, several security threats are occurring in the IoT networks. In order to provide privacy, authentication, access, and integrity control, it is crucial to implement efficient protocols for the security of IoT networks and privacy among others. In addition, user privacy in the IoT environment is becoming critical since much personal information is provided and distributed among related items. It is, therefore, necessary to guarantee that personal data are protected and controlled from cloud events. The presentation addresses security and privacy dangers and concerns coming out of IoT services and presents ways to the industrial problem of security and privacy. In this article, a study on security and problems in IoT networks are discussed

Design a secure IoT Architecture using Smart Wireless Networks

The Internet of Things (IOT) is a revolution in the technology world, and this field is continuously evolving. It has made life easier for people by providing consumers with more efficient and effective resources in faster and more convenient ways. The Internet of Things is one of the most exciting fields for the future by 2030. 90% of the planet will be connected and all devices in homes and businesses around us will be connected to the Internet making it more vulnerable to violations of privacy and protection. Due to the complexity of its environment, security and privacy are the most critical issues relevant to IoT. Without the reliable security of the devices, they will lose their importance and efficiency. Moreover, the security violation will outweigh any of its benefits. In this paper, an overview of various layered IoT architectures, a review of common security attacks from the perspective of the layer, and the best techniques against these attacks are provided. Moreover, an enhanced layered IoT architecture is proposed, which will be protected against several security attacks

Cyber-crime Science = Crime Science + Information Security

Cyber-crime Science is an emerging area of study aiming to prevent cyber-crime by combining security protection techniques from Information Security with empirical research methods used in Crime Science. Information security research has developed techniques for protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information assets but is less strong on the empirical study of the effectiveness of these techniques. Crime Science studies the effect of crime prevention techniques empirically in the real world, and proposes improvements to these techniques based on this. Combining both approaches, Cyber-crime Science transfers and further develops Information Security techniques to prevent cyber-crime, and empirically studies the effectiveness of these techniques in the real world. In this paper we review the main contributions of Crime Science as of today, illustrate its application to a typical Information Security problem, namely phishing, explore the interdisciplinary structure of Cyber-crime Science, and present an agenda for research in Cyber-crime Science in the form of a set of suggested research questions

A Novel Architectural Framework on IoT Ecosystem, Security Aspects and Mechanisms: A Comprehensive Survey

For the past few years, the Internet of Things (IoT) technology continues to not only gain popularity and importance, but also witnesses the true realization of everything being smart. With the advent of the concept of smart everything, IoT has emerged as an area of great potential and incredible growth. An IoT ecosystem centers around innovation perspective which is considered as its fundamental core. Accordingly, IoT enabling technologies such as hardware and software platforms as well as standards become the core of the IoT ecosystem. However, any large-scale technological integration such as the IoT development poses the challenge to ensure secure data transmission. Perhaps, the ubiquitous and the resource-constrained nature of IoT devices and the sensitive and private data being generated by IoT systems make them highly vulnerable to physical and cyber threats. In this paper, we re-define an IoT ecosystem from the core technologies view point. We propose a modified three layer IoT architecture by dividing the perception layer into elementary blocks based on their attributed functions. Enabling technologies, attacks and security countermeasures are classified under each layer of the proposed architecture. Additionally, to give the readers a broader perspective of the research area, we discuss the role of various state-of-the-art emerging technologies in the IoT security. We present the security aspects of the most prominent standards and other recently developed technologies for IoT which might have the potential to form the yet undefined IoT architecture. Among the technologies presented in this article, we give a special interest to one recent technology in IoT domain. This technology is named IQRF that stands for Intelligent Connectivity using Radio Frequency. It is an emerging technology for wireless packet-oriented communication that operates in sub-GHz ISM band (868 MHz) and which is intended for general use where wireless connectivity is needed, either in a mesh network or point-to-point (P2P) configuration. We also highlighted the security aspects implemented in this technology and we compare it with the other already known technologies. Moreover, a detailed discussion on the possible attacks is presented. These attacks are projected on the IoT technologies presented in this article including IQRF. In addition, lightweight security solutions, implemented in these technologies, to counter these threats in the proposed IoT ecosystem architecture are also presented. Lastly, we summarize the survey by listing out some common challenges and the future research directions in this field.publishedVersio
