IoT Security: Problems and a Centralized Adaptive Approach as a Solution

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IOT) is the interconnection, and communication of technology devices. This leads to speedy advancements in technology, but unfortunately invites in room for major security vulnerabilities. One facet of the Internet of Things, is smart home devices. Smart home devices are those that are utilized within one's home to improve quality of life. As all these devices communicate with each other, more and more security risks are developed. In this paper we review the existing security issues and solutions for IOT, and propose and approach to centralize the communications through a singular hub, acting as a central command for the smart home devices, allowing that hub to be the main secure point in the smart home network.
