IoT, Information Security, BlockchainAbstract
IoT is a term which is used commonly to show the connection of billions of devices across the globe through internet. The devices used in IoT are majorly used for data collection and sharing. IoT is anticipated to permeate almost every element of life, from smart cities to the medical field, precision farming, supply chain management, and retail, as well as smart living and smart ecosystems. IoT applications are increasing every day. With the rapid increasing applications privacy and security issues can be seen. In fact, if security is not proper in IoT, it may outweigh the benefits. This paper presents an introduction to IoT, architectures along with the privacy, and security threats. Based on the research findings, the possible existing solutions to this problem have been discussed.
