Internet of Things: A survey on the security of IoT frameworks

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is heavily affecting our daily lives in many domains, ranging from tiny wearable devices to large industrial systems. Consequently, a wide variety of IoT applications have been developed and deployed using different IoT frameworks. An IoT framework is a set of guiding rules, protocols, and standards which simplify the implementation of IoT applications. The success of these applications mainly depends on the ecosystem characteristics of the IoT framework, with the emphasis on the security mechanisms employed in it, where issues related to security and privacy are pivotal. In this paper, we survey the security of the main IoT frameworks, a total of 8 frameworks are considered. For each framework, we clarify the proposed architecture, the essentials of developing thirdparty smart apps, the compatible hardware, and the security features. Comparing security architectures shows that the same standards used for securing communications, whereas different methodologies followed for providing other security properties.

[Retracted] A Survey on Management Frameworks and Open Challenges in IoT

“…This poses unique challenges for management framework designer of IoT. The summary of researches on the security management can be found in [21].…”

“…Where the authors have stressed on developing a novel and customized OpenFlow approach for WSN/IoT. Other similar efforts, which applied SDN principles, can be found in [21,[34][35][36][37][38][39]. We discuss all of the above efforts of middleware solutions for IoT that have adopted SDN principles as follows.…”

“…Networking [21] Proposed Framework and Critical Analysis. The authors of this paper [21] investigate how SDN offer novel ways to handle the principal security requirements.…”

“…The authors of this paper [21] investigate how SDN offer novel ways to handle the principal security requirements. Existing SDN-based security research is divided into two branches that one of them focuses on securing the network and the other on provisioning security as a service.…”

“…In [3,22] minimal security service provisioning exists in the framework where attack mitigation, key management, and other essential security services are not handled by the proposed architecture. SDSec is employed in [26] to provide security in IoT network and bare minimum discussion can be found in other middleware-oriented frameworks [21,27,37], while none of the security provisioning exists in API based programmable management framework, SDN architecture, OpenFlow adaptation based framework, and message-oriented publish-subscribe model-based framework. In results shown in Figure 28, it is evident that all of the proposed frameworks are centrally reconfigurable network exploiting paradigm of SDN.…”
