Introduction - Internet Of Things

  • Devices (Smart Devices) interconnected with each other through the Internet
  • Characteristics of IOT
    • Unique Identity
      • Identifies a device among all other devices using its unique identifier
    • Dynamic Nature
      • State changes dynamically by sensing environment
    • Self Adapting
      • Adapts to changing environment conditions
    • Self Configuring
      • Like basic setup, network configuration, software updates with minimum user intervention
    • Heterogeneity
    • Integrated to Information Network
      • Devices working together to achieve a common goal
  • Benefits of IOT
    • Efficient Resource Utilization
    • Saves Time
    • Reduces Human Efforts & Errors
    • Security
    • User Friendly/Easy to use
  • Future of IOT
    • AI & IOT
    • Voice User Interface (VUI)
    • Miniaturization of Things
    • Low Energy Consumption
    • Big Data & IOT
  • Security Problems
    • DOS (Denial of Service)
      • Server gets down due to getting continuous garbage requests which results in denial of service for the valid user
    • DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service)
      • DOS from many devices
    • Information Manipulation
    • Unauthorized Access
      • Non valid user accessing the system using credentials stolen from a valid user
    • Information Disclosure
      • Disclosing the location of storage of data
  • Key Elements of IOT Security
    • Authentication
      • Communication should be carried out only by valid/authorized users/devices
    • Access Control
      • Giving access to a user based on their Roles
    • Data Security
      • Data should be encrypted while sending from sender to receiver
      • Any Modification, Alteration, Loss of data should be detected by receiver and notified to sender for retransmission
    • Non-Repudiation
      • Sender or Receiver can not deny the fact that they have sent or received the message
    • Availability
      • Resource should be available on demand without delay
  • Application of IOT
    • Smart City
    • Health Care
    • Education
    • Agriculture
    • Smart Home
    • Vehicle Industry
