A Study on Internet of Things: Security Issues and Solution Approaches

Abstract: From the isolated systems the world faces a dramatic rapid shift on Internet-based executable 'things' are capable of communicating with each other and creating data that can be analyzed to get valuable information. This highly integrated global network structure of IoT is the life of the well-known people, improving business efficiency, improving government efficiency and the list continues. Wireless communication networks are highly vulnerable to security threats. However, this new reality (IoT) is based on the Internet, has a new kind of challenge from security and privacy perspectives. The earlier techniques are not directly applicable to the concept of IoT. Mainly security affects the major features of IoT. It is better to understand the real reasons for the new threats in the IoT projects.
