Security Framework for IoT Devices against Cyber-attacks

摘要

Internet of Things (IoT) is the interconnection of heterogeneous smart devices through theInternet with diverse application areas. The huge number of smart devices and the complexity ofnetworks has made it impossible to secure the data and communication between devices.Various conventional security controls are insufficient to prevent numerous attacks againstthese information-rich devices. Along with enhancing existing approaches, a peripheraldefence, Intrusion Detection System (IDS), proved efficient in most scenarios. However,conventional IDS approaches are unsuitable to mitigate continuously emerging zero-dayattacks. Intelligent mechanisms that can detect unfamiliar intrusions seems a prospectivesolution. This article explores popular attacks against IoT architecture and its relevant defencemechanisms to identify an appropriate protective measure for different networking practicesand attack categories. Besides, a security framework for IoT architecture is provided with a listof security enhancement techniques.
