Twenty Security Considerations for Cloud-Supported Internet of Things

Abstract

To realise the broad vision of pervasive computing, underpinned by the "Internet of Things" (IoT), it is essential to break down application and technology-based silos and support broad connectivity and data sharing; the cloud being a natural enabler. Work in IoT tends towards the subsystem, often focusing on particular technical concerns or application domains, before offloading data to the cloud. As such, there has been little regard given to the security, privacy and personal safety risks that arise beyond these subsystems; that is, from the wide-scale, crossplatform openness that cloud services bring to IoT.In this paper we focus on security considerations for IoT from the perspectives of cloud tenants, end-users and cloud providers, in the context of wide-scale IoT proliferation, working across the range of IoT technologies (be they things or entire IoT subsystems). Our contribution is to analyse the current state of cloud-supported IoT to make explicit the security considerations that require further work.

PHP2Uni: Building Unikernels Using Scripting Language Transpilation

“…INTRODUCTION Unikernels are generating significant interest as a potential breakthrough in virtualisation technology, due to their improved security, small footprint, fast boot time and wholesystem optimisation (see § II). These benefits align very well with service-oriented architectures [1], microservice architectures [2], the needs of the Internet of Things (IoT) [3], and edge/fog computing [4].…”

Survey on Integration of Cloud Computing and Internet of Things Using Application Perspective

“…Jatinder Singh et al, [6] deals with on security considerations for IoT from the perspectives of Cloud tenants, end-users, and Cloud providers, in the context of wide-scale IoT proliferation, working across the range of IoT technologies. It analyses the current state of IoT-Cloud offerings to make explicit the security considerations that require further work.…”

Software Defined Security Service Provisioning Framework for Internet of Things

“…Efforts in summarizing challenges of security in IoT can be found in [40] [45]. Detail taxonomy of security challenges can be found in [41].On the other hand, comprehensive identification of security challenges and requirements in IoT architecture is also carried out by various researchers most notable of them can be found in [43] [44] [45] [40].…”
