Security And Privacy Concern In IoT Devices

Abstract

The widespread adoption of IoT devices has revolutionized technology but has also raised security and privacy concerns. These challenges stem from interconnected nature, sensitive data generation, vulnerabilities in firmware, inadequate authentication, and insufficient encryption protocols. Privacy concerns arise from extensive data collection and processing capabilities, raising questions about user consent, data ownership, and potential misuse. Aggregation of data from multiple IoT devices can lead to comprehensive user profiling, potentially enabling intrusive surveillance and targeted attacks. To address these challenges, several approaches have been proposed. In this paper major issues related to the security and privacy of IoT are focused.
