“…These studies can usually be classified into two main categories. Some studies [12]- [17] are related to threats, such as constraints and vulnerabilities in WSNs, and other studies [18]- [26] focus on security requirements, such as countermeasures and solutions. The former usually highlighted that the vulnerabilities of WSNs are caused by constraints of WSNs, such as resource scarcity, insufficient memory, and unreliable communications.…”

“…The proposed security requirements in these studies are usually based on the constraints, vulnerabilities, threats, and other challenges. Some of these studies [18], [12], and [24] analyzed the security requirements of each component (i.e., node, data, network, and application) that composed WSNs, such as an analysis of the availability in a hierarchical structure in previous studies that analyzed the threats in WSNs. However, these studies focused on analyzing only security requirements and did not explain why security requirements are important.…”

As WSNs combine with a diversity of next-generation technologies, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have gained considerable attention as a promising ubiquitous technology. Even though several studies on WSNs are being undertaken, few systematically analyze the security issues relating to them. Moreover, recent systems tend to be implemented without sufficient consideration about owns security requirements, which can lead to lethal threats. Systems that do not consider security requirements may provide attackers the opportunity to reduce the overall efficiency and performance of the system. This means that inadequately applied security requirements can result in defective security of systems. Therefore, in this study, we emphasized the importance of security requirements to raise awareness regarding them. In addition, we analyzed literature that could be improved by including WSNs security requirements such as characteristics, constraints, and threats. Furthermore, we adopted a systematic methodology by referring to reliable literature and performed a different analysis from previous studies. We derived and mapped the different security factors based on the literature and illustrated the relationships of each security factor. Finally, our research compared with studies of a similar type to evaluate whether it provided a significant contribution. In other words, in this study, we analyzed various factors related to WSNs security based on reviewing the literature and show our contribution, such as a systematic analysis framework and factor mapping compared with traditional studies. Though there are some considerations, we expect that this research derived the essential security requirements in any WSNs environments.

“…This mess up the communication among the devices of the entire network. For example, person A is replying a message to person B , but the message is expected from person C , here, person A becomes the active attacker [40–42]. Active attacks relating to real‐time data can include Authentication data such as Login ID and password. Digital certificates. One‐time passwords for online access. Biometric identification such as fingerprint, handwriting recognition, face recognition, voice recognition etc. Knowledge‐based questions like ‘what is your pet name?’ Social media data such as Facebook and Twitter. (b) Passive attacks: This type of attack involves snooping and monitoring of the communication in the IoT system.…”

With an exponential growth of raw data generated from different sensors, actuators, and mobile devices, data analytics is becoming a challenging issue keeping in view of the heterogeneity of the data generated. The traditional database systems are not able to handle this huge amount of data. Current research and development are mainly focused on the analytics of this big data generated from different devices and overlook the difficulty of its secure streaming. In this study, the authors analyse and provide an overview on how to handle secure streaming data generated from different devices. It includes the major threats and risks, introduced during big data processing in Internet of things environment. Moreover, they analyse the existing security approaches and highlight emerging challenges required to process the heterogeneous big data in a secure manner for IoT applications, such as denial of service, malware, and phishing. The architectural details and security approaches required in each phase of big data processing life-cycle are explored in detail. Finally, various research challenges along with a case study are discussed and analysed.

Internet of Things (IoT) has not yet reached a distinctive definition. A generic understanding of IoT is that it offers numerous services in many domains, utilizing conventional internet infrastructure by enabling different communication patterns such as human-to-object, object-to-objects, and object-to-object. Integrating IoT objects into the standard Internet, however, has unlocked several security challenges, as most internet technologies and connectivity protocols have been specifically designed for unconstrained objects. Moreover, IoT objects have their own limitations in terms of computation power, memory and bandwidth. IoT vision, therefore, has suffered from unprecedented attacks targeting not only individuals but also enterprises, some examples of these attacks are loss of privacy, organized crime, mental suffering, and the probability of jeopardizing human lives. Hence, providing a comprehensive classification of IoT attacks and their available countermeasures is an indispensable requirement. In this paper, we propose a novel four-layered IoT reference model based on building blocks strategy, in which we develop a comprehensive IoT attack model composed of four key phases. First, we have proposed IoT asset-based attack surface, which consists of four main components: 1) physical objects, 2) protocols covering whole IoT stack, 3) data, and 4) software. Second, we describe a set of IoT security goals. Third, we identify IoT attack taxonomy for each asset. Finally, we show the relationship between each attack and its violated security goals, and identify a set of countermeasures to protect each asset as well. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper that attempts to provide a comprehensive IoT attacks model based on a building-blocked reference model.
