Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT)-based intelligent devices have been actively used in clouds to provide various data ranging from personal healthcare to disaster response. High acceptance rate of IoT devices resulting day-by-day increment in the number of Internet’s connected devices. The enormous growth of IoT devices and their reliability on wireless technologies make it vulnerable to cyberattacks which posing challenges for digital forensic experts. Security concern such as secure communication, access control, secure storage of information and privacy is major concern in IoT surroundings. The rapid growth of IoT services and devices resulted in the deployment of various insecure and vulnerable system. Furthermore, every single device including sensors that deployed in IoT network and each byte that is transmitted within the IoT network may come under scrutiny at some layer. This chapter identifies universal layers within the IoT architecture and discussed security vulnerability in all layers.
