Security considerations for IoT

Security is one of the foremost concerns raised by different stakeholders about the Internet of Things. This has the potential to slow down its adoption. While security has always been a concern ever since the advent of the internet, the impact was limited to financial and intellectual property losses.

But IoT adds a completely new dimension to this where devices performing critical tasks, if insecure, can be manipulated to devastating effects. The impact could be on public safety, environment, productivity and many others.

This paper examines the security challenges for internet of things and suggests some security options and approach that can be used for IoT solutions.
