Abstract:
The Internet of Things is almost a new paradigm that is revolutionizing our society and our life. It is intended that all objects around us are connected to the network, providing worldwide access to information. This concept is gaining space, thanks to the large number of devices connected to the web, ranging from mobile devices to appliances. In the same time, the development of Internet of Things (IoT) give rise to a number of security-related and ethical issues which gain a new dimension in the light of the increased complexity of these technologies. The biggest problem is that IoT does not concern objects only; it is about the relations between the everyday objects surrounding humans and humans themselves. It`s important to emphasize that the majority of connected objects are not always personal and are unattended. Their physical security is not guaranteed (especially for the public networks) and the control of the objects may be lost sometimes. This paper addresses the most important concerns regarding the security issues in Internet of Things. Main enabling factor of this promising paradigm is the integration of several technologies and communications solutions with security and privacy techniques.
