Introduction
The internet of things has relatedly more number of technological security and privacy issues as related to the number of security and privacy issues related to other technologies. The internet engineering task force is dedicatedly designing the authorisation and the authentication mechanisms for the devices which are being used using the technology of Internet of Things. Internet of things uses devices which are small and a part of much bigger circuit. These small sensors measure the variables such as light, motion, temperature, pulse, pressure and lots more.
Relevant Technologies and their Applications
Internet of things is a relatively new concept in the technological world and many people do not understand the use of technologies in the IOT. IOT consists of an amalgamation of multiple technologies. These technologies include:
Networking topologies – There are 2 ways to connect the IOT devices, star and mesh. A star network that uses the Bluetooth node can connect only a limited number of nodes and the cost of expansion is relatively higher(Sicari, S., Rizzardi, A., Grieco, L. A., & Coen-Porisini, A. (2015).)
Networking and Networking types – The personal area network is mostly used for the IOT devices which covers a range of about 10 meteres. A common PAN is connected by bluetooth technology
Wireless Protocols – Some of the most innovative changes that are taking place in the industry are due to wireless protocols. The protocols are based on the following characteristics: Range of connectivity, Power requirements, Networking topology and the data transfer blocks (Borgohain, T., Kumar, U., & Sanyal, S. (2015))
Bluetooth low energy and Bluetooth smart – Bluetooth and Bluetooth smart have become an important part of consumer products and file transferring. Bluetooth smart cannot be used for file transferring like Bluetooth. The industry predicts that the bluetooth enables phone to be bluetooth smart bu the end of 2018
Z-Wave – It is a communication technology which requires v.low power, low data rate and is designed for home automation. The full mesh network is supported by the Z-Wave and allows control up-to 232 devices
Zigbee – The various industrial profiles including the Zigbee...
