Abstract

Internet of Things is a novel concept that semantically implies a world-wide network of uniquely addressable interconnected smart objects. It is aimed at establishing any paradigm in computing. This environment is one where the boundary between virtual and physical world is eliminated. As the network gets loaded with hitherto unknown applications, security threats also become rampant. Current security solutions fail as new threats appear to de-struct the reliability of information. The network has to be transformed to IPv6 enabled network to address huge number of smart objects. Thus new addressing schemes come up with new attacks. Real time analysis of information from the heterogeneous smart objects needs use of cloud services. This can fall prey to cloud specific security threats. Therefore need arises for a review of security threats for a new area having huge demand. Here a study of security issues in this domain is briefly presented.
