Analysis of IoT Platform Security: A Survey

Because the IoT (Internet of Things) is emerging as the next generation growth engine that leads the IT (information technology) industry, many developed countries and companies are developing IoT based technologies to preoccupy the IoT market. Among the core technologies that make up IoT, IoT platform can have a huge impact on future devices. It is attracting attention as one of the most promising technologies of IoT technology, but at the same time concerns about platform security are also increasing. In response to this, Korea (domestic) and international IoT platforms adopt diverse security technologies according to the developed purpose and environment. For most domestic IoT platforms are developed based on platforms on which standardization is underway like oneM2M and OCF. For the international IoT platforms, they were developed in a proprietary method. Not only this, the security method also adopted their own method. But, even though the security methods of domestic and international IoT platforms have a distinct difference like this, studies comparing and analyzing the security elements of domestic and international IoT platforms are not enough. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze and compare security elements of domestic and international IoT platforms so that more secure domestic IoT growth can be achieved. Finally, we propose the development direction of future IoT platform security.
