The use of the Internet is growing in this day and age, so another area has developed to use the Internet, called Internet of Things (IoT). It facilitates the machines and objects to communicate, compute and coordinate with each other. It is an enabler for the intelligence affixed to several essential features of the modern world, such as homes, hospitals, buildings, transports and cities. The security and privacy are some of the critical issues related to the wide application of IoT. Therefore, these issues prevent the wide adoption of the IoT. In this paper, we are presenting an overview about different layered architectures of IoT and attacks regarding security from the perspective of layers. In addition, a review of mechanisms that provide solutions to these issues is presented with their limitations. Furthermore, we have suggested a new secure layered architecture of IoT to overcome these issues.

“…Virtual network stacks appear as another proposal that uses cross‐layer pseudonymity but tied to user identity, following the virtual identity framework . It also addresses the granularity at which new pseudonyms should be required, instantiating VNS per identity, enabling also the control over personalization and pervasive services constricted to each virtual identity.…”

Privacy is becoming a pressing requirement that spawns across different network layers and user interactions. Using multiple identifiers for the same user, pseudonyms, as means for preserving privacy, is becoming an important approach that has not seen proper discussion or validation. This paper presents formalization on pseudonymity specially considering its influence on the network stack. It presents a study on privacy requirements and its implementation cost, both at theoretical and practical levels, through the support of multiple network stack instantiations and network identifiers per user. We discuss how pseudonyms can be used to preserve users' privacy, and what key issues and requirements are needed, to use, control, and evaluate a pseudonym-based solution at network level. The paper further presents an architecture that builds a pseudonym-based solution supported throughout the network stack, describes its implementation in a real testbed, and depicts the results obtained related to both efficiency and costs of such a privacy approach. Finally, it discusses the characteristics of the architecture according to the identified privacy requirements, its impacts and constraints.

“…One of these results was the Virtual Identity concept [4] [5] and its application to such infrastructures, where the virtual identity denotes an entity in a specific role or usage context, not the entity in its entirety. However, they have not addressed the problem of how the wide range of entities can be organized in establishing a particular use or session.…”

“…The general scheme is illustrated in Figure 3, which makes the future Internet of things an Identinet. Here, each end point, whether a person, a service, some software or a sensor cloud will be represented by an identity, that is again designated in its digital from as data, such as by a virtual identity [4]. Some devices now considered end points become interim nodes in the communication, each of which is also represented by an identity.…”

There are two problem areas of the current Internet to be solved in Future Internet scenariossecurity and putting the user back in control despite the move to the Internet of things. With this in mind, we address problems associated with the diversifying of the Internet towards an Internet of Things, and with increased ways to be reachable, whether the user wants it or not, in the digital world. The paper presents two approaches to cope with the problem: The Identinet and a concept designated by the Digital Shadow. The paper presents an architecture based on these concepts.
