Privacy Challenges and Their Solutions in IoT

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Internet of Things (IoT)

Abstract

IoT (Internet of Things) is connecting inter-related computing devices and the main idea for this concept is to connect each device via internet so that it will be easy for the devices to communicate and share info among them. These days IoT has grown up to a massive extent and new and emerging topic in research. IoT is the new and vast technology for the upcoming future as almost all devices will be connected to each other and share data among them via internet. This chapter identifies various privacy challenges in IoT, and their respective solutions presented by several researches over the time. It presents various issues related to privacy and security in IoT like standardization, networking and addressing ones. The chapter also deals within solutions provided for academic, technical and industrial aspects for IoT enabled environment. The importance of data security and protection to overcome the vulnerabilities which can come for an IoT based environment and can reduce the risk for IoT infrastructure.
