연구 분야: Analysis

학회: ACM Transactions on Sensor Networks

The applications and services offered by the Internet of Things (IoT) have grown significantly during the past few years. Device makers and corporate suppliers have taken notice of this, which has led to a sudden inflow of new-age firms. Confidential data and information are involved as IoT device use rises. IoT device security has emerged as a major issue and is becoming more and more significant. Appropriate security measures are needed to prevent dangers and hazards associated with the adoption of smart technology in smart cities and houses that run IoT devices, according to security evaluations. In order to safeguard the smart home environment, our research focuses on IoT device firmware. The security methodology presented in this research may be used to analyze and investigate IoT firmware, revealing sensitive data and hardcoded user IDs and passwords that can be used in future attacks and breach of IoT devices. The authors put out an idea for how real-time datasets produced by IoT search engines may be analyzed using keywords according to different device kinds, locations, and manufacturers. The results showed that it took device owners 11–13 months to upgrade the firmware. Only HP and Cisco routinely provided firmware updates to protect IoT devices among IoT device makers.
