Privacy And Security Issues In Iot Systems

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing industries and everyday life by connecting a wide
range of devices through the Internet. While IoT enhances convenience and efficiency, it
simultaneously presents significant challenges regarding privacy and security. This paper explores
IoT systems' primary privacy and security concerns, including data collection, unauthorized access,
and cyber threats. It delves into existing solutions such as blockchain, fog computing, and machine
learning, which aim to mitigate these challenges. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of different
IoT security strategies is presented, emphasizing the need for robust encryption, authentication, and
privacy-by-design principles. Ultimately, the paper calls for a collaborative effort among
researchers, policymakers, and industry players to secure IoT systems and protect user data
effectively.
