Abstract

Security vulnerabilities have become significant concerns due to growing demand of Internet of Things (IoT) not only for home automation systems, but also for various industrial applications. Central security technologies are vulnerable to single-point failure that could reduce attack handling technology efficiency. Distributed security frameworks are used in resource-constrained heterogeneous IoT networks. Conventional security strategies are insufficient to protect the distributed and dynamic existence of IoT networks. Conversely, Software Define Network (SDN) and Blockchain are two emerging techniques expected to solve heterogeneous IoT network security. This analysis work therefore mainly seeks to examine IoT network features, security specifications, and challenges. Thereafter, well-known threats or attacks are analyzed in IoT. SDN and blockchain-based countermeasures are addressed for IoT network security with a case study. Finally, to enhance security and privacy , numerous open issues are discussed.
