THE RISKS AND LIMITATIONS OF SECURITY MECHANISMS ON IOT ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract

 Internet of Things is the technique which is provided by the unique identifiers that can automatically transfer the data over the wide network without the help of human being. The devices uses are vulnerable to hack. The purpose of hacking the devices of Internet of Things may not be accessing data only, but it could be harming the users of those devices. In other words, it might affect them economically, endanger their health or put their lives at risk since this technology is directly connected to their daily lives, and this is considered a violation of users’privacy.The devices of Internet of Things are hacked and exploited in order to attack the Internet infrastructure supplied by some major companies. In this paper we have token an overview about the security of Internet of Things, we are trying to cover the possible security measures to put a stop to attacks from the previous research scholars on the topic of security of Internet of Things. We propose a one of a kind concept of three Layered Security to prevent the malicious activities of Cybercriminals. In these three layers we have ponder the Device Security, Communication Security and Server Security. Risks and Limitations are also discussed here.
