Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) is used for providing connectivity amongst numerous devices. It is a system where objects that are embedded with a detector technology acts with another object through a wireless communication medium to exchange and transfer information without human interaction. These devices are prone to vulnerable attacks due to the simple and open nature of their networks. Therefore, privacy and security are the biggest concern in this technology. The focus of the security and privacy threats on IoT is crucial to promote the development of IoT. The goal of the paper is to put forward the different security and privacy concerns that an IoT environment is facing and the existing mechanisms used for its protection. The paper mainly focuses on the IoT privacy and security features such as the IAS-octave security requirements, security and privacy threats and the solutions that need to be maintained to avoid these security and privacy threats.
