Potential Security Requirements in IoT to Prevent Attacks and Threats

Internet technologies, new era of advancements, have changed inter-connectivity among people at an incredible scale over the last decade. The next revolution is projected towards creation of connectivity among diverse things, resulting in a smart environment. The need for data-on- demand continues to rise as we advance from World Wide Web to web2 i.e. social networking web. The world has now advanced to web3 i.e. ubiquitous computing or web of things. There is no doubt that IoT is progressing more and more, while offering a wide range of smart solutions and innovative applications. However, with such advancements in IoT, some vulnerabilities are also there. The expanding trend of cyber assaults such as DoS, sniffing attack, port scanning etc., on systems core, along with system underlying flaws, is a subject of worry for both the companies as well as customers. The goal of this research is to quantify the category of various system related flaws that compromise IoT infrastructure and leads to cybercrime, as well as to create a justification for more research into this developing technology. This paper also presents a detailed overview of attacks in IoT along with security requirements that will be helpful for securing IoT from threats and attacks.
