Research Area: Internet of Things
Solving security concerns are one of the main challenges for the Internet of Things. There are different issues to be solved within the physically connected part of the IoT and in the networking domain, and another set of issues exist for the data-processing back-end, not to mention the presentation/configuration layer, where direct human interaction brings in further threats. Automation IoT applications have special real-time requirements, they are expected to have high level of reliability, and often operate in safety-critical environment. These requirements justify extreme security and safety measures. This paper discusses the security threats that can appear in the different layers of an IoT architecture, especially in the automation domain. The mitigation practices of the various security issues are also discussed, bearing in mind that the solutions can bring quite different measures for the physical equipment in the field, for the communication infrastructure, or for the data processing applications.
