A taxonomy of IoT: Security and privacy threats

Abstract

Potential Security and Privacy concerns are widely discussed in the community of Internet of Things (IoT); however, the issue is still not fully addressed, and the demands for new methods of investigation are highly appraised. The current published research focused more on identifying the security issues associated with early type of IoT's applications based on sensors, such as RFID and WSN. However, todays IoT commercial applications are more advanced and use different of integrated objects. This research paper utilizes Design Science Research (DSR) methodology to better understand the security and privacy issue in IoT through creating an artifact. The purpose of this study is to propose taxonomy in order to categorize IoT's objects, so security and privacy issues would be fully addressed.
