Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) empowers billions of embedded computing devices to associate to each other. The smart things cover our everyday friendly devices, such as, ovens, fridges, and TV sets, as well as critical IoT applications, for example, the control framework in atomic reactors or the connected medical devices in health-care. The tremendous number of devices asociated through heterogeneous frameworks increases the risk of attacks. To overcome these security threats in the IoT, robust security arrangements must be considered. However, IoT devices are limited regarding memory, computation and energy capacities, in addition to the lack of communication reliability. In this context, we look for efficient security mechanisms to build up secure communications between obscure IoT devices, while taking into account the security requirements and the resource constraints of these devices using lightweight cryptography. In this paper, a brief discussion on IoT architecture and various IoT applications has been done. Further, the security concerns with respect to data sharing and attacks have been highlighted. Related work for lightweight strategies utilized for secure data transmission is depicted in this paper
