Internet of Things (IoT) applications have been used in a wide variety of domains ranging from smart home, healthcare, smart energy, and Industrial 4.0. While IoT brings a number of benefits including convenience and efficiency, it also introduces a number of emerging threats. The number of IoT devices that may be connected, along with the ad hoc nature of such systems, often exacerbates the situation. Security and privacy have emerged as significant challenges for managing IoT. Recent work has demonstrated that deep learning algorithms are very efficient for conducting security analysis of IoT systems and have many advantages compared with the other methods. This paper aims to provide a thorough survey related to deep learning applications in IoT for security and privacy concerns. Our primary focus is on deep learning enhanced IoT security. First, from the view of system architecture and the methodologies used, we investigate applications of deep learning in IoT security. Second, from the security perspective of IoT systems, we analyse the suitability of deep learning to improve security. Finally, we evaluate the performance of deep learning in IoT system security.

The vulnerability of deep neural networks to adversarial examples, which are crafted maliciously by modifying the inputs with imperceptible perturbations to misled the network produce incorrect outputs, reveals the lack of robustness and poses security concerns. Previous works study the adversarial robustness of image classifiers on image level and use all the pixel information in an image indiscriminately, lacking of exploration of regions with different semantic meanings in the pixel space of an image. In this work, we fill this gap and explore the pixel space of the adversarial image by proposing an algorithm to looking for possible perturbations pixel by pixel in different regions of the segmented image. The extensive experimental results on CIFAR-10 and ImageNet verify that searching for the modified pixel in only some pixels of an image can successfully launch the onepixel adversarial attacks without requiring all the pixels of the entire image, and there exist multiple vulnerable points scattered in different regions of an image. We also demonstrate that the adversarial robustness of different regions on the image varies with the amount of semantic information contained.
