Abstract
The world has been experiencing a notable growth on the application of Internet of Things (IoT)-based appliances as IoT has been established as a major component of Information Technology after digital computer, Internet, and mobile technologies. However, the rapid growth of IoT-based systems also raises two undeniable concerns: security and privacy. Since IoT-based appliances are inherently exposed to the security attacks, security and privacy must be taken into account at the time of their acquisition. Owing to their economic concerns, the IoT-based system manufacturers may compromise with security issues, which can cause a breach of the network security and exploitation of user data. Therefore, an assessment framework for security features of IoT system is imperative. In this paper, we develop an assessment framework to evaluate the security features of IoT-based equipment. The proposed assessment framework uses hybrid multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methodology. The framework comprises two widely used MCDM methods, Analytic Network Process (ANP) and Grey Relational Analysis (GRA). The evaluation process of security features of IoT system is twofold: first ANP is used to assign importance to the evaluating criteria, and then GRA is used to assess the alternatives with respect to the criteria. We also carried out an empirical study on assessment of IoT-based healthcare devices.
