Security Architecture Framework for Internet of Things (IoT)
This paper proposes a novel security architecture framework for IoT that helps build trust between different entities and systems and addresses privacy and security requirements and challenges of IoT different from any other types of communications.
Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) nowadays plays an essential and critical role in our lives and is beginning to dominate Internet communications. The twenty-first century will continue to witness exponential growth and dependence on IoT systems in all aspects of life from smart homes, smart vehicles, e-health, smart cities, and smart grid to wearables, and medical devices that are becoming more microscopic due to the increase in processing ability and communications capabilities. The massive deployment of IoT devices in various domains has increased security threats to IoT devices and systems and created internet of vulnerabilities. Different bodies have proposed several fundamental architectural models for IoT. Privacy and security requirements and challenges of IoT are different from any other types of communications. Building trust between different entities and systems is the motive behind this work. This paper proposes a novel security architecture framework for IoT.
