Abstract

As time flows by, the quality and quantity of technology keep on increasing in an individual’s life. Every coming day either a new technology is being discovered or an already existing popular technology is being made more and more efficient. One such technology on which lots of research is being done is IoT. IoT is one of the major technologies used these days and continuous research is being done over it to fill in the loopholes. IoT has a traditional layered architecture in which each layer has its great importance. As believed that the future will be linked with IoT all around, rigorous research on security issues of IoT is being done. As a thing with great perfection or use surely has some flaws too, in the same way, IoT too had various types of security issues associated with it. This paper deals with defining the architecture of IoT in detail. The security goals and the issues found in IoT are also explained. An analysis of some of the security attacks in IoT is done to have a closer look at the effects of attacks on the network. Various types of attacks are present in IoT among which some are easily detectable and can be prevented, but some are very difficult to detect and prevent. The paper helps in knowing about the different aspects of security issues and security attacks. Also, some future work related to research areas has been mentioned in the paper.
