Security Issues & Threats in IoT Infrastructure

Abstract

IoT (Internet of Things) expands the future Internet, and has drawn much attention. As more and more gadgets (i.e. Things) connected to the Internet, the huge amount of data exchanged has reached an unprecedented level.IoT today has a wide scope and researches say that IoT will definitely be a huge reason in the change of human lifestyle. But irrespective of the scope of IoT, we cannot be sure enough to implement it due to the security concerns. There is a genuine need to secure IoT, which has therefore resulted in a need to comprehensively understand the threats and attacks on IoT infrastructure. This paper discusses about the flaws in the security structure of IoT, it is a study about the various layers of IoT and how differentattacks are possible in those layers
