Abstract

A comprehensive analysis has been carried out in this paper for security issues and uncertainties for the most common IoT protocols. It discusses the possible security risks and attacks outlined in protocol specifications and categorize them in detail. To provide a valuable perspective into the materialization of and effect of safety risks, these challenges were mostly analyzed in a selective manner, which consists of the assessment of various threats and vulnerabilities [1]. This paper further explores and addresses the steps and methodologies implemented in the literature to increase protection and to minimize the risks involved.

Moreover, this paper analyzes different procedures to assess whether they are susceptible to attack against confidentiality and integrity. Furthermore, the other protocols studied, apart from TLS and DTLS protocols that are not generic security procedures. With spreading of M2M communication there are many standardized communication protocol for IOT applications, the performance of these protocols can vary greatly even under the same operating conditions.
