Today many companies are offering IoT-enabled products and place emphasis on security from the planning stage to protect their products and user information from external threats. The present security levels, however, remain low because the time and resources invested in developing security requirements for each device are far from enough to meet the needs of a wide range of IoT products. Nevertheless, vulnerabilities of IoT devices have been reported continuously, which calls for more detailed security requirements for home IoT devices. In this context, this research identified threats of home IoT systems by using Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool. It then suggested measures to enhance the security of home IoT devices by developing security assessment items through comparative analysis of the identified threats, domestic and global vulnerability assessment standards and related research. It also verified the effectiveness of the developed security requirements by testing them against the existing ones, and the results revealed the security requirements developed in this research proved to be more effective in identifying vulnerabilities.

Recently, IoT technology is rapidly developing with the keyword "Anytime, Anywhere, Convenient". In addition, security problems in IoT systems are exploding and the damage is increasing as well. In this paper, we propose a method to develop IoT system safely by using internationally recognized CC evaluation in ICT by identifying the standardization and security technology development status defining IoT system security requirements. For this purpose, IoT system and service security aspects are analyzed. Based on this, it is possible to design the security functional requirements and to demonstrate the rationale of the security objective through the correspondence relation, and it is possible to design the protection profile for the IoT system. This is a sufficient basis for the development methodology to be presented in this paper because it is used as a means of referring to the set of security requirements of administrators, developers, and users.

With the rapid development of IoT(Internet of Things) technology, various convenient services such as smart home and smart city have been realized. However, IoT devices in unmanned environments are exposed to various security threats including eavesdropping and data forgery, information leakage due to unauthorized access. To build a secure IoT environment, it is necessary to use proper cryptographic technologies to IoT devices. But, it is impossible to apply the technologies applied in the existing IT environment, due to the limited resources of the IoT devices. In this paper, we survey the classification of IoT devices according to the performance and analyze the security requirements for IoT devices. Also we survey and analyze the use of cryptographic technologies in the current status of IoT open standard platform such as AllJoyn, oneM2M, IoTivity. Based on the research of cryptographic usage, we examine whether each platform satisfies security requirements. Each IoT open platform provides cryptographic technology for supporting security services such as confidentiality, integrity, authentication an authorization. However, resource constrained IoT devices such as blood pressure monitoring sensors are difficult to apply existing cryptographic techniques. Thus, it is necessary to study cryptographic technologies for power-limited and resource constrained IoT devices in unattended environments.

The middleware in the IoT system is software that acts as a messenger to connect and exchange data between humans and objects, objects and objects. IoT middleware exists in various forms in all areas, including hardware, protocol, and communication of different kinds, which are different in form and purpose. However, IoT middleware exists in various forms across different areas, including hardware, protocol, and communication of different types and purposes. Therefore, even if the system is designed differently for each role, it is necessary to strengthen the security in common. In this paper, we analyze the structure of IoT middleware using Service Oriented Architecture(SOA) approach and design system security requirements based on it. It was defined: Target Of Evaluation(TOE) existing system development method and the object is evaluated by Common Criteria(CC) for verification based otherwise. The proposed middleware system will be correlated with the security problem definition and the security purpose, which will be the basis for implementing the security enhanced IoT system.

The Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem potentially includes heterogeneous devices with different processing mechanisms as well as very complicated network and communication models. Thus, analysis of data associated with adverse conditions is much more complicated. Moreover, mobile things in the IoT lead to dynamic alteration of environments and developments of a dynamic and ultra-large-scale (ULS) environment. Also, IoT and the services provided by that are mostly based on devices with limited resources or things that may not be capable of hosting conventional controls. Finally, the dynamic and heterogeneous and ULS environment of the IoT will lead to the emergence of new security requirements. The conventional preventive and diagnostic security controls cannot sufficiently protect it against increasing complication of threats. The counteractions provided by these methods are mostly dependent on insufficient static data that cannot sufficiently protect systems against sophisticated and dynamically evolved attacks. Accordingly, this paper investigates the current security approaches employed in the IoT architectures. Moreover, we define the dynamic security based on dynamic event analysis, dynamic engineering of new security requirements, context awareness and adaptability, clarify the need for employment of new security mechanism, and delineate further works that need to be conducted to achieve a secure IoT.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the fastest technologies that are used in various applications and fields. The concept of IoT will not only be limited to the fields of scientific and technical life but will also gradually spread to become an essential part of our daily life and routine. Before, IoT was a complex term unknown to many, but soon it will become something common. IoT is a natural and indispensable routine in which smart devices and sensors are connected wirelessly or wired over the Internet to exchange and process data. With all the benefits and advantages offered by the IoT, it does not face many security and privacy challenges because the current traditional security protocols are not suitable for IoT technologies. In this paper, we presented a comprehensive survey of the latest studies from 2018 to 2021 related to the security of the IoT and the use of machine learning (ML) and deep learning and their applications in addressing security and privacy in the IoT. A description was initially presented, followed by a comprehensive overview of the IoT and its applications and the basic important safety requirements of confidentiality, integrity, and availability and its application in the IoT. Then we reviewed the attacks and challenges facing the IoT. We also focused on ML and its applications in addressing the security problem on the IoT.

The MQTT-SN (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport-Sensor Network) protocol is a message transmission protocol used in a sensor-based Internet of Things (IoT) environment. This MQTT-SN protocol is a publish-subscribe model with a broker in the middle of message transmission, and each IoT device sends and receives messages through an intermediary when delivering messages. However, the MQTT-SN protocol does not provide security-related functions such as message security, mutual authentication, access control, and broker security. Accordingly, various security problems have recently occurred, and a situation in which security is required has emerged. In this paper, we review the security requirements of MQTT-SN once again, and propose a modified protocol that improves security while satisfying the constraints in the environment where the resource of IoT to which this protocol is applied is limited. Unlike the existing protocol, the security field and authentication server have been added to satisfy the security requirements. In addition, the proposed protocol is actually implemented and tested, and the proposed protocol is evaluated for practical use in terms of energy consumption.
