Security and Privacy Challenges in IoT and Sensor Networks: A Review of Current Solutions

Storage capacity is not a concern. Sensor networks and IoT have transformed storage the way data is stored in multiple ventures. However, this increase in connected devices has also led to various security and privacy questions. This abstract aims to provide an insightful summary of some existing solutions to these pain points. They provided effective messages on device networks vulnerable to intrusion and were able to broadcast full security into IoT with sensor vulnerabilities. It may allow attackers to steal data, manipulate systems, or access them using fake credentials. Intrusion detection systems were created to solve the problems with many threats, such as secure protocols and authentication mechanisms. Another important aspect is privacy since these devices collect a large amount of data that can be used to infer potentially sensitive personal information. Some solutions to protect privacy in IoT and sensor networks have been suggested, such as encryption methods, data anonymization algorithms, or access control mechanisms. In addition, scalability, energy-efficient design, and cost are key challenges in devising such security and privacy solutions. To that end, research is being conducted to enhance existing solutions and develop new methods and technologies for tackling these challenges. To sum up, IoT and sensor networks are inherently rewarding technologies whose benefits far outweigh their drawbacks, but justifiably, many threats must be cleared to gain those attributes at the expense of reasonable security and privacy potentials. The current solutions are baseline, but they need continuous upgradation to ensure the safety and privacy of users in such a fast-moving technology world.
