This article describes how cloud computing has emerged as a strong competitor against traditional IT platforms by offering low-cost and “pay-as-you-go” computing potential and on-demand provisioning of services. Governments, as well as organizations, have migrated their entire or most of the IT infrastructure to the cloud. With the emergence of IoT devices and big data, the amount of data forwarded to the cloud has increased to a huge extent. Therefore, the paradigm of cloud computing is no longer sufficient. Furthermore, with the growth of demand for IoT solutions in organizations, it has become essential to process data quickly, substantially and on-site. Hence, Fog computing is introduced to overcome these drawbacks of cloud computing by bringing intelligence to the edge of the network using smart devices. One major security issue related to the cloud is the DDoS attack. This article discusses in detail about the DDoS attack, cloud computing, fog computing, how DDoS affect cloud environment and how fog computing can be used in a cloud environment to solve a variety of problems.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is changing the way consumers, businesses, and governments interact with the physical and cyber worlds. More often than not, IoT devices are designed for specific functional requirements or use cases without paying too much attention to security. Consequently, attackers usually compromise IoT devices with lax security to retrieve sensitive information such as encryption keys, user passwords, and sensitive URLs. Moreover, expanding IoT use cases and the exponential growth in connected smart devices significantly widen the attack surface. Despite efforts to deal with security problems, the security of IoT devices and the privacy of the data they collect and process are still areas of concern in research. Whenever vulnerabilities are discovered, device manufacturers are expected to release patches or new firmware to fix the vulnerabilities. There is a need to prioritize firmware attacks, because they enable the most high-impact threats that go beyond what is possible with traditional attacks. In IoT, delivering and deploying new firmware securely to affected devices remains a challenge. This study aims to develop a security model that employs Blockchain and the InterPlanentary File System (IPFS) to secure firmware transmission over a low data rate, constrained Long-Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN). The proposed security model ensures integrity, confidentiality, availability, and authentication and focuses on resource-constrained low-powered devices. To demonstrate the utility and applicability of the proposed model, a proof of concept was implemented and evaluated using low-powered devices. The experimental results show that the proposed model is feasible for constrained and low-powered LoRaWAN devices.

The internet of things (IoT) manages a large infrastructure of web-enabled smart devices, small devices that use embedded systems, such as processors, sensors, and communication hardware to collect, send, and elaborate on data acquired from their environment. Thus, from a practical point of view, such devices are composed of power-efficient storage, scalable, and lightweight nodes needing power and batteries to operate. From the above reason, it appears clear that energy harvesting plays an important role in increasing the efficiency and lifetime of IoT devices. Moreover, from acquiring energy by the surrounding operational environment, energy harvesting is important to make the IoT device network more sustainable from the environmental point of view. Different state-of-the-art energy harvesters based on mechanical, aeroelastic, wind, solar, radiofrequency, and pyroelectric mechanisms are discussed in this review article. To reduce the power consumption of the batteries, a vital role is played by power management integrated circuits (PMICs), which help to enhance the system’s life span. Moreover, PMICs from different manufacturers that provide power management to IoT devices have been discussed in this paper. Furthermore, the energy harvesting networks can expose themselves to prominent security issues putting the secrecy of the system to risk. These possible attacks are also discussed in this review article.

The Internet Of Things

The internet of things has brought in innovations in the daily lives of users. The enthusiasm and openness of consumers have fuelled the manufacturers to dish out new devices with more features and better aesthetics. In an attempt to keep up with the competition, the manufacturers are not paying enough attention to cyber security of these smart devices. The gravity of security vulnerabilities is further aggravated due to their connected nature. As a result, a compromised device would not only stop providing the intended service but could also act as a host for malware introduced by an attacker. This study has focused on 10 manufacturers, namely Fitbit, D-Link, Edimax, Ednet, Homematic, Smarter, Osram, Belkin Wemo, Philips Hue, and Withings. The authors studied the security issues which have been raised in the past and the communication protocols used by devices made by these brands. It was found that while security vulnerabilities could be introduced due to lack of attention to details while designing an IoT device, they could also get introduced by the protocol stack and inadequate system configuration. Researchers have iterated that protocols like TCP, UDP, and mDNS have inherent security shortcomings and manufacturers need to be mindful of the fact. Furthermore, if protocols like EAPOL or Zigbee have been used, then the device developers need to be aware of safeguarding the keys and other authentication mechanisms. The authors also analysed the packets captured during setup of 23 devices by the above-mentioned manufacturers. The analysis gave insight into the underlying protocol stack preferred by the manufacturers. In addition, they also used count vectorizer to tokenize the protocols used during device setup and use them to model a multinomial classifier to identify the manufacturers. The intent of this experiment was to determine if a manufacturer could be identified based on the tokenized protocols. The modelled classifier could then be used to drive an algorithm to checklist against possible security vulnerabilities, which are characteristic of the protocols and the manufacturer history. Such an automated system will be instrumental in regular diagnostics of a smart system. The authors then wrapped up this report by suggesting some measures a user can take to protect their local networks and connected devices.
