Cyber Security Analysis of Iot Devices Transmitting Data in the Thingspeak Platform Cloud

Abstract

The IoT platforms have started to be used more and more due to numerous applications in which they can be used. With the growth of devices that transmit data to the cloud of IoT platforms, security challenges have also emerged. The security of IoT platforms can be analysed, identifying vulnerabilities to attacks on each layer of the IoT architecture. In this paper, the authors test, through an active sniffing attack, the cybersecurity of the IoT devices that transmit data to the Cloud of the ThingSpeak platform. Through this attack, it will analyses whether IoT devices send the data to the ThingSpeak platform’s cloud in the clear, without encrypting it.

Enhanced Real-Time Maintenance Management Model—A Step toward Industry 4.0 through Lean: Conveyor Belt Operation Case Study

“…Therefore, in the short term, the possibility of increasing the security system in the model [9] should be studied. This improvement can be achieved, for example, through blockchain for identifying devices, applications, and users, and through access control [45]. (4) The use of these new technologies in industrial installations with high electromagnetic noise may condition the use of BLE since it can cause temporary disturbances and data loss, system failures, and even loss of life.…”
