Abstract

The internet of things (IoT) is a network that connects various sensors and objects so that they can communicate with one another without the need for human intervention. The IoT is a vast network of linked devices that is rapidly evolving, making human life much easier than it has been in the past. Most operations, such as booking a hotel stay with a simple text message, may now be accomplished with a simple click. The IoT now uses artificial intelligence as well as machine learning to make it user-adaptive, in addition to connecting devices across a network. Because the IoT is doing so many things at once, it requires a lot of power, but even more critically, it requires a lot of data. IoT networks are built on low-power, lossy networks (LLN).

In this chapter, we investigate which devices are most attacked, as well as the most common attacks carried out by hackers, such as denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, man-inthe-middle (MITM) attacks, forgery, chosen-ciphertext attack (CCA), and replay attacks on IoT devices to gain data access. Many attacks are discussed, most of which can be stopped simply by implementing end-to-end encryption on the network. End-to-end encryption can ...
