Abstract
[Purpose]
The Internet of Things (IoT) has grown rapidly in the past few years and
billions of devices are connected to the IoT network for collecting and sharing data
globally for various applications. Due to the billions of conn ected devices, there is a
potential risk of data loss, identity theft, device manipulation, trust issues, falsification of
data, network/server manipulation, and various impacts in the application of IoT
platforms. The IoT-enabled devices are growing rapidly day by day leading to amplify
the threat s to the reliability of the network.
[Methodology/A pproach/design ]
The research work aims to push the present state of
the art by identifying privac y and security req uirements that IoT is presently needed.
[Findings]
Various e xisting solutions for security in IoT and their limitations are
addressed. Security issues such as trust based privacy policies for context-awareness,
efficient holistic frameworks, and lightweight strategy for system resource constraints are
identified .
[Practical Implications]
The technological age of IoT will be relying on a large number
of dev ices is forecast to expand substantially. A lthough many of the technology-related
privacy and security challenges exist, developer s and researchers need to work in
collaboration to resolve those threats, as they have accomplished with several other
related technologies.

promising invention to change our lives. The idea of the Internet of things (IoT)
was fo remost conceived by Kevin Ashton of Auto ID-Center at MIT in 1999.
According to Ashton, IoT is a system in which the Internet is connected to the
physical world via ubiquitous senso rs(Vermesan et al. 201 1). The sensors are
key components of IoT. The IoT allows us to connect people and things through
the internet to achieve some common goals (Dohr et al. 2010). About 50 to 100
billion devices are projected to connect to the Internet by the year 2025 . In 2010
the global sensor market stood at about $56.3 b illion. This was about $62.8
billion in 2011. The global sensor market is projected to increase by 2016 to
$91.50 billion, at a combined annual growth rate of 7.8% (Forecasting 2 011).
Due to the huge number of internet-based devices the configuration ,
communication, and management of such devices is not feasible if there no
automatic system available to manage them. The sensor networks consist of one
or more sensing nodes that use wired or wireless means to communicate with
each other. Each sensor node can locally or remotely sense, communicate, and
process data. Sensor nodes in sensor networks can be homogenous or
heterogeneous. These sensor nodes are built with the phenomenon that we
would like to sense the environmental activities (Akyildiz et al. 2002) .
Through the developm ent of hardware and software innovations, a mixture
of real-wo rld entities' Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and smart objects has
become a practical solution through the Internet capabilities. IoT engineers
operate in tandem with WSN hardware, but the deployment and analysis
procedures for sensor devices to act as smart objects are not insignificant. The
expansion of applications for the IoT relates in particular to various usability
characteristics of WSN (Narayan and Daniel 2020). The design and
implementation of IoT systems need the basic issues such as hardware and
software heterogeneity linked networking and compatibility problems, flexibility
and scalability of the application, standardized communication and descriptions
of the serv ices, procedures for the automation, handling the Big Data (Corcho
and Castro, 2010).
The IoTs can dep loy billions of very low-cost, internet protocol (IP) enabled
wireless sensor no des(Narayan and Daniel 2021), allowing sensors to sense and
track any object or individual in the real world. The integration of sensing
