Trends in IoT security

The incredible rapid development of internet technologies, primarily thanks to omnipresent access of high speed broadband internet access and supporting technologies like Big Data, Cloud Computing, REST/Web services as well as cheap electronic equipment that use new wireless communications standards, lead to equal rapid growth of number of smart devices - “things” - connected to the internet. Increased number of connected smart devices results with huge daily data traffic on the internet and data volume stored and available on the internet. IoT becomes part of our homes and our companies, and security in these systems is very important. What does that outlook hold for the next 5, 10 or 20 years, will mostly depend on the development of security standards, user behavior and education in a next few years. This paper is trying to summary and analyze trends in IoT standards regarding security.
