Internet of Things (IoT): A vision, architectural elements, and security issues

The Internet of Things is an emerging technology across the world, which helps to connect sensors, vehicles, hospitals, industries and consumers through internet connectivity. This type of architecture leads to Smart Cities, Smart home, Smart agriculture and Smart World. Architecture of IoT is very complex because of the large number of devices, link layer technology and services that are involved in this system. However, security in IoT is the most important parameter. In this paper, we give an overview of the architecture of IoT with the help of Smart World. In the second phase of this paper, we discuss the security challenges in IoT followed by the security measures in IoT. Finally, these challenges, which are discussed in the paper, could be research direction for future work in security for IoT.
