Internet of things (IoT) technology plays a vital role in the current technologies because IoT develops a network by integrating different kinds of objects and sensors to create the communication among objects directly without human interaction. With the presence of internet of things technology in our daily comes smart thinking and various advantages. At the same time, secure systems have been a most important concern for the protection of information systems and networks. However, adopting traditional security management systems in the internet of things leads several issues due to the limited privacy and policies like privacy standards, protocol stacks, and authentication rules. Usually, IoT devices has limited network capacities, storage, and computing processors. So they are having more chances to attacks. Data security, privacy, and reliability are three main challenges in the IoT security domain. To address the solutions for the above issues, IoT technology has to provide advanced privacy and policies in this large incoming data source. Blockchain is one of the trending technologies in the privacy management to provide the security. So this chapter is focused on the blockchain technologies which can be able to solve several IoT security issues. This review mainly focused on the state-of-the-art IoT security issues and vulnerabilities by existing review works in the IoT security domains. The taxonomy is presented about security issues in the view of communication, architecture, and applications. Also presented are the challenges of IoT security management systems. The main aim of this chapter is to describe the importance of blockchain technology in IoT security systems. Finally, it highlights the future directions of blockchain technology roles in IoT systems, which can be helpful for further improvements.

With the advancements in wireless internet technology, a new computing ecosystem, the Internet of Things(IoT), has ushered in numerous devices in many areas in our life as well as in industries. The IoT is a computing notion that describes a scenario in which objects we use everyday are accessible using the internet and can be controlled from anywhere (Kung, Y.F., et al., 2018. Home Monitoring System Based Internet of Things. 2018 IEEE International Conference on Applied System Invention (ICASI), April; IEEE. pp.325–327; Singh, S. and Singh, N., 2015. Internet of Things (IoT): Security Challenges, Business Opportunities and Reference Architecture for E-Commerce. 2015 International Conference on Green Computing and Internet of Things (ICGCIoT), October; IEEE. pp.1577–1581). It could comprise devices with sensors to gather and broadcast data over the Internet (Singh, S. and Singh, N., 2015. Internet of Things (IoT): Security Challenges, Business Opportunities and Reference Architecture for E-Commerce. 2015 International Conference on Green Computing and Internet of Things (ICGCIoT), October; IEEE. pp.1577–1581). As per report of the research firm Gartner, the number of IoT objects will surpass 11.2 billion by 2018, and 20.4 billion by 2020. By 2020, the IoT industries will make revenue of almost 3 trillion US Dollars. As IoT devices are largely used in various areas of importance, it will definitely bring a lot of interests to hackers. It is worthwhile to quote here that hackers took away more than Rs 78 crore by hacking into router of Cosmos Bank based in Pune by duplicating debit cards in August, 2018. They carried out about 12 thousand unethical transactions worth Rs 78 crore in 28 countries. Hence, it is necessary to consider data privacy so that we can protect the data with limited system resource and technology. This paper proposes a new key management scheme with entity authentication for IoT devices. The proposed scheme uses modified Tate pairing. The presented scheme is apposite for IoT devices such as sensor networks due to their lower computational requirements.

IoT or the Internet of things refers to all the physical devices connected to the internet. IoT consists of computing devices that are web-enabled and have the capability of sensing, collecting, and sending data. IoT provides the ability to remote control appliances and has many more applications. Since IoT is becoming a big part of society, it is necessary to ensure that these devices provide adequate security measures. This paper discusses various security issues in IoT systems like threats, vulnerabilities and some countermeasures which can be used to provide some security. Developing a secure device is now more important than ever, as with the increase in digitization, much of a user’s data is available on these devices. Securing data is a primary concern in any system, as internet-enabled devices are easier to hack. The idea of this paper is to spread awareness and improve the security of IoT devices.

A lot of communication are developed and advanced with different and heterogeneous communication techniques by integration of wireless and wire connection. Conventional technology is mainly focus on information technology based on computer techniques in the field of industry, manufacture and automation fields. It consists of individual skill and technique. As new technologies are developed and enhanced with conventional techniques, a lot of new application is emerged and merged with previous mechanism and skills. The representative application is internet of things services and applications. Internet of things is breakthrough technologies and one of the innovation industries which are called 4 generation industry revolution. Many different types of object and devices are embedded in sensor node. They are inter-connected with optimized open system interconnection protocol over internet, wireless and wire medium. Most of communication is fully inter-connected with conventional techniques at point to point and end to application in general. Most of information in internet of things is weak against attack. This may induce vulnerable features to unauthorized and outside attacker over internet protocol, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and so forth. As high and low efficient equipment are merged into heterogeneous infrastructure, IoT communication surroundings has become more complex, Due to limited resources in IoT such as small memory, low power and computing power, IoT devices are vulnerable and disclosed with security problems. In this chapter, we analyzed security challenges and threats based on smart home network under IoT service.

Day By Day

Internet of Things (IoT) is growing rapidly in recent days and increasing of IoT devices day by day producing vast amount of data, to store this data security is a major challenge in IoT. To avoid these security challenges, blockchain is the perfect solution. With its security by design, immutable nature, transparent nature and encryption methodology blockchain will solve architectural issues of IoT. In these days, the energy meters in our homes are not able send the information to the cloud and man power also needed to update readings every month, and manually errors also taken place some times to avoid these, in the paper a smart energy meter is proposed, that will measure the power consumption and that readings will be stored in to the blockchain to secure the data from the fraudsters and also to make the payment without any third parties like banks, in the blockchain technology amount can be transferred from one to one without any third parties using crypto currencies like bitcoin, ether.., etc. The user will be able to check the bills in the blockchain and do the payments. By using the blockchain technology the user data will be more secure and the IoT security issues also solvable.
