Abstract

With the development of 5G technology, Internet of Things (IoT) is proliferating and deeply integrated with our daily lives and industry productions. IoT applications in the 5G era generate massive connections, and this would bring about many security issues. In this paper, we first analyze security risks for massive IoT in the 5G era, then summarize related security policies and standards. Furthermore, we propose security requirements and measures for various layers, including sensor control equipment and IoT card, IoT network and transmission exchange, IoT business application and service, and IoT security management and operation. Next, we introduce the case of the cyber security monitoring platform, explain the security technology based on edge computing, and point out the related standards. Finally, we put forward suggestions on IoT security technology and standardization work, so as to promote the secure development of IoT in the 5G era.
