Abstract

In a short timeframe, Internet of Things (IoT) has gained a lot of traction and has entrenched itself as a global technology. IoT devices are typically integrated with machine learning and artificial intelligence systems to deliver optimal automation. Consequently, IoT has broadened its purview to embrace a wide range of sectors. The advancements in machine learning and artificial intelligence have streamlined the automation of IoT devices. Several IoT applications aim to automate operations and empower inanimate tangible components to operate without any human intervention. The critical factor of IoT security is maintaining users’ confidentiality and privacy, ensuring the security of IoT architectures, gadgets, and records, and assuring the accessibility of IoT ecosystem services. As IoT failures might have serious consequences, it’s vital to examine and research security issues in this sector. The main objective of this research is to enhance the security level of IoT’s architecture. This paper delves into the seven-layer architecture of IoT. Furthermore, the major challenges and issues in IoT's architecture, along with potential countermeasures, have been discussed.
