Hybrid approach for securing IoT communication using authentication and data confidentiality

Internet of Things (IoT) is a new emerging technology of the Internet. Traditionally, Internet has been connecting people and sharing information through human intervention. IoT is an extension of internet, whose aim is to provide machine to machine (M 2M) or object to object (O2O) communication without human intervention. It independently has technical knowledge of the system in existing environment which is leading towards “communication era of entities” but there are various security issues and challenges such as privacy, data protection, DOS attacks, dealing with the bulky data collected by IoT devices, increasing transparency, access control, authentication and many more whose solution need to be addressed. This work acquainted the hybrid approach for securing IoT communication using authentication and data confidentiality to address the vulnerabilities in IoT network.
