Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming an evolving technology being a part of day-to-day activities of human life. The number of IoT devices is expected to rise up to 30–35 billion by 2022. As the connectivity to World Wide Web is highly available at affordable price, which leads to more number of internet users. Therefore, an enormous number of electronic gadgets that are connected to Internet are producing huge amount of data. This creates a biggest challenge in IoT sector such as securing the IoT devices and data that is been exchanged over the network.

The user’s private information is transferred among the gadgets, and several security challenges such as privacy, confidentiality, integrity, and reliability issues need to be addressed. Several industries are manufacturing different IoT devices at various standards. Incorrectly configured IoT device (faulty apps on mobile device) can cause excessive data traffic over Internet Protocol and device batteries are getting drained faster. This research is mainly focused on different issues such as analysis of present research in IoT security, and this analyzes the communications behavior of IoT devices and mobile apps, security threats on IoT technology, various IoT tools, IoT manufacturers, ...
