A Survey on Device Discovery in Internet of Things

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is gaining immense importance in today's world of fast connectivity. The Internet of things (IoT) enables us to connect and exchange data by forming a network of physical devices, vehicles, home appliances, and other items which are embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and connectivity. Internet of Things (IoT) has changed our lives by bringing a technological revolution. The imagination is the limit regarding the new devices that may arise in the market. With great diversity in the devices and the need to integrate new devices in our lives, there is no structure prepared for emerging diversity in IoT. This paper aims to provide some help by studying the various ways that contribute to the automation of part of the device integration process. IoT devices like unmanned aerial devices, robots and wearable equipment, etc., are widely used which occur in an organizations' inner network and can create a potential threat to the security of the intranet. In this paper we also study a system named IoT Eye, which discovers IoT devices in real time and can discover vulnerabilities before malicious actors and reduces cyber menace to the organization's network.
