The transition from the current Internet to the Internet of things (IoT) is inevitable and is already necessary. The main aspect about the IoT paradigm is the integration of several technologies and standards. However, what places have the security and privacy in this paradigm?We present the necessary background by introducing the IoT paradigm. Then, we summarize the standards and enabling technologies that refer to security in the IoT. Furthermore, we point some major issues that should be faced by the research community related to the security in the IoT. Finally, based on our evaluation, we highlight some possible directions for future research. Our goal is not only to analyze, compare and consolidate past research work but also to appreciate their findings and discuss their applicability towards securing the IoT and to provide a solid base to start a scientific research around security and privacy on the IoT.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
