Security Challenges and Counter Measures in Internet of Things

Internet of Things (IoT) is the technology made up of many inter-disciplinary technologies. It includes Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), sensors networks, actuators, IoT devices, smart phones and even physical things. Thus plenty of applications that could not exist earlier are emerged. The advantages of IoT brought many security and privacy issues. Therefore, it is essential to have comprehension of those issues and also countermeasures to overcome them. Towards this end, we focused on understanding and providing useful insights related to privacy and security besides giving some of the methods to ensure security. The security measures include biometrics based solutions, trust management, embedded security, RFID based security issues and CoAP with security features.
