Secure Wireless Internet of Things Communication using Virtual Private Networks
The Internet of Things (IoT) is an exploding market as well as a important
focus area for research. Security is a major issue for IoT products and
solutions, with several massive problems that are still commonplace in the
field. In this paper, we have successfully minimized the risk of data
eavesdropping and tampering over the network by securing these communications
using the concept of tunneling. We have implemented this by connecting a router
to the internet via a Virtual Private network while using PPTP and L2TP as the
underlying protocols for the VPN and exploring their cost benefits,
compatibility and most importantly, their feasibility. The main purpose of our
paper is to try to secure IoT networks without adversely affecting the selling
point of IoT.Comment: 8 page
