The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm refers to the network of physical objects or 'things' embedded with electronics, software, sensors and connectivity to enable objects to exchange data with servers, centralized systems and/or other connected devices. on different communication infrastructures. IoT makes it possible to detect and control objects, creating opportunities for more direct integration between the physical world and computer-based systems. IoT will usher in automation across a wide range of application domains, ranging from manufacturing and energy management (e.g. SmartGrid), to healthcare management and urban living (e.g. SmartCity). However, due to its fine-grained, continuous, and ubiquitous data collection and control capabilities, IoT raises security and privacy concerns. Implementing existing IoT security solutions is not easy due to the heterogeneity of devices, highly dynamic and potentially unprotected environments, and large scale. In this talk, after outlining the key challenges in IoT security and privacy, we present initial approaches for securing IoT data, including firewall techniques to prevent IoT devices from being compromised and used by botnets.
