A Review on Privacy Requirements and Application Layer Security in Internet of Things (IoT)

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is the predominant emerging technology that targets on facilitating interconnection of internet-enabled resources. IoT applications concentrate on automating different tasks that facilitate physical objects to act autonomously without any human interventions. The emerging and current IoT applications are determined to be highly significant for improving the degree of efficiency, comfort and automation for its users. Any kind of security breach on the system will directly influences the life of the humans In this paper, a comprehensive review on Privacy requirements and application layer Security in Internet of Things (IoT) is presented for exploring the possible security issues in IoT that could be launched over the individual layers of IoT architecture. This review explores different challenges of classical security solutions that are related to authentication, key management and cryptographic solutions.It also presents the details of existing access control and device authentication schemes with their pros and cons.
