Security Testing Methodology of IoT: Methodology to be followed while IoT Penetration Testing

摘要

Internet of Things (IoT) is internetworking of physical devices which will detect, collect, process and exchange data, it is a vast ocean of things that has an IP address which is connected to the internet. The IoT framework desires to connect anyone with anything anywhere. The objective of Internet of things is to plant a successful communication between any types of physical devices at any place using any networking technology. With great advancement of IoT and its increasing implementation in today's world it becomes very important to secure the network to maintain the confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of the IoT network. Security assessment carried out on the IoT network would highlight the weaknesses present in the network. Based on the weaknesses highlighted an appropriate countermeasure should be applied to make it secure. The paper presents IoT Testing methodology needs to be incorporated during or post implementation of IoT technology.
