Security Trends in Internet-of-things for Ambient Assistive Living: A Review

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized our society and become indispensable to modern existence. The IoT allows users to access their electronic gadgets from any location. The widespread adoption of IoT across sectors, from manufacturing to surveillance to elder care, has contributed to its rising profile. New security risks and challenges arise with the growth of the IoT. With the development of IoT, the likelihood of an attack by hackers has increased. The burden of addressing these dangers falls on researchers and security professionals. This article looks into the challenges of IoT security in a real-world Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) environment. This work discusses the numerous security attacks employed by cybercriminals in AAL IoT. In addition, this research investigates the varied responses to the risks. We discussed the state-of-the-art technologies available for protecting AAL IoT networks. This work analyses and compares the majority of the latest technologies available. In conclusion, we offer a few suggestions for where the field could go from the current scenario
