1. INTRODUCTION
The IoT is the combination of physical objects with sensors, actuators and
controllers with connectivity to the public world via the internet. The term “IoT”
was first coined in 1998 and it is defined as, “the internet of things allows people
and things to be connected anytime, anyplace with anything and anyone ideally
using any path or network and any service”. Due to technological development
there is increase in number of interconnected sensing and computing devices.
The information that can be accessed through the IoT
devices are susceptible to the hackers to evaluate the
security loopholes of the IoT devices. IoT is collecting data
from various sources and making them useful. Big Data can
be defined as collection of data with sizes beyond the ability
of commonly used software tools to capture and analyze
within a stipulated time. Businessorganization usesBigData
to compete in market and outperform and use data driven
technologies to innovate, compete and capture value. Big
Data organization tomakebetterdecision tocompete.TheBI
techniques include Big Data analytics which extracts the
information using data mining. Recent techniques such as
data mining, predictive analysis, statistical analysis are
performed in organizations.
There is no technology and protocol to supporttheIoT and it

3. REVIEW ON IoT SECURITY
In the current scenario, security in technology plays a major
role in IoT. There are number of protocols and technologies
that are available to address most of the security issues for
wireless networks, but still there are many securityissuesin
each layer. The whole communication infrastructure of the
IoT is flawed from the security standpoint and is susceptible
to loss of privacy for the end users. The security issues of
each layer are described below.

3.1. SECURITY ISSUES IN IoT ARCHITECTURE:
Application layer
Middleware layer
Network layer
Perception layer
Figure1. IoT architecture for security issues
3.1.1. PERCEPTION LAYER:
This layer is a sensor network and RFID security policy and
it is the lowest layer where information canbepassed across
IoT network. The issues in sensor network are physical
capture of sensor nodes, integrity and congestion attacks,
eavesdropping and node replication networks. Theissues in
RFID networks are tampering attacks, leakage of
information. Issues of this layer are unauthorized access,
theft, wiretapping and replay attacks.
3.1.2. NETWORK LAYER:
This layer is also known as information transmission
security policy. This is used to transfer of information across
the network and it is implemented on communication
framework. Issues created by this layer are to maintain
authenticity, confidentiality, integrity, data availability.
3.1.3. MIDDLEWARE LAYER:
This layer is also known as information processing security
policy and is used to process information and provide
interface between network and application layer. Issues of
this layer are privacy, security and reliability.
3.1.4. APPLICATION LAYER:
This layer is also known as information application security
policy. Privacy is the major issue of this layer. The
unauthorized persons could collect the information by
hacking using this layer.
3.2. SECURITYISSUES INWIRELESSSENSORNETWORK
(WSN):
A WSN is a wireless network consisting of spatially
distributed autonomous devices using sensors to
cooperatively monitorphysicalorenvironmentalconditions,
such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure, motion or
pollutants, at different locations. A wireless sensor network
is an important element in IoT paradigm. Sensor nodes may
not have global ID because of the large amount of overhead
and large number of sensors. WSN basedonIoThasreceived
remarkable attention in many areas, such as military,
homeland security, healthcare, precision agriculture
monitoring, manufacturing, habitat monitoring, forest fire
and flood detection.
The oppressive operations that can be performed in a
wireless sensor network can be categorized under three
categories:
Attacks on secrecy and authentication.
Silent attacks on service integrity.
Attacks on network availability.
3.3. SECURITY ISSUES IN RADIO FREQUENCY
IDENTIFICATION (RFID):
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a system that
transmits the identity of an object orperson wirelesslyusing
radio waves in the form of a serial number. RFID technology
plays an important role in IoT for solving identification
issues of objects around us in a cost effective manner. RFID
used in information tags and they useradiofrequency waves
for interacting and exchange information without any
requirement for alignment in the same line of sight or
physical contact. This usesAutomaticIdentification andData
Capture (AIDC).
Active tag- This houses a battery internally, which
facilitates the interaction of its unique EPC with its
surrounding EPCs remotely from a limited distance.
Passive tag- The information relay of EPC occurs only
by activation by a transceiverfromapredefinedrangeof
the tag.
This is mainly used as RFID tags for automated exchange of
information without any manual involvement. The most
common attacks are
Attack on Authenticity- This attack render a RFID tag
to malfunction and misbehave under the scan of a tag
reader, its EPC giving misinformationagainsttheunique
numerical combination identity assigned to it.
Attack on Integrity- The capturing of the identification
information through the manipulation of the tags by
rogue readers.
Attack on Confidentiality- A tag can be traced through
rogue readers, which may result in givingupof sensitive
information.
Attack on Availability- The communicating signal
between the reader and the tag is intercepted, recorded
and replayed upon the receipt of any query from the
reader at a later time, thus faking the availability of the
tag.
3.4. SECURITY ISSUES IN PHYSICAL LAYER:
This layer performs the function of selection and generation
of carrier frequency, modulation and demodulation,
encryption and decryption, transmission and reception of
data. This layer is mainly attacked through
Jamming- This occupies the communication channel
between nodes thus preventing them from
communicating with each other.
Node tampering- Physical tampering of the node to
extract sensitive information.
3.5. SECURITY ISSUES IN DATA LINK LAYER:
This layer of WSN multiplexes the various data streams,
provides detection of data frame, MAC and error control.
This layer is mainly attacked through
Collision- Collision occurs when two nodes
simultaneously transmit packet of data on the same
channel.
Unfairness- Repeated collision based attack.
Battery Exhaustion- Thisoccurunusuallyhigh trafficin
a channel making its accessibility very limited to the
nodes.

3.6. SECURITY ISSUES IN NETWORK LAYER:
The function of this layer is routing. This layer is mainly
attacked through
Spoofing- This causes replaying and misdirection of
traffic.
Hello flood attack- This causes high traffic in channels
by congesting the channel with an unusually high
number of useless messages.
Homing- A Search is made in traffic for cluster heads
and key managers which has thecapabilitytoshutdown
the entire network.
Sybil- The attacker replicates a single node and
represent it with multiple identities to other nodes.
Wormhole- Relocation of bits of data from its original
position in the network.
3.7. SECURITY ISSUES IN TRANSPORT LAYER:
This layer provides reliability of data transmission and
avoids congestion resulting from high traffic in the routers.
This layer is mainly attacked through
Flooding- Refers to deliberate congestion channels
through relay of unnecessary messages and high traffic.
De-synchronization- Fake messages arecreatedatone
or both endpoints requesting retransmission for
correction of non-existent error.
3.8. SECURITY ISSUES IN APPLICATION LAYER:
This layer is responsible for traffic management. This also
acts as the provider of software for different applications
which carries out the translation of data into a
comprehensible form or helpsincollectionofinformation by
sending queries.
3.9. SECURITY CHALLENGES WITHIN IoT AND BIG
DATA:
IoT is main target of security attacks is whole
communication process is performed between IoT devices.
The components involved are IoT device itself and gateway.
If gateway is damaged then whole communication process
gets affected. Interferencecausedduetojammingof physical
channel between nodes. Signal interception caused due to
traffic flow, unauthenticated access, insecure network
resources. Intrusion occurs due to insecure user interfaces,
software. Exploitation occurs when attackers act as
authenticated users to access the data. Communication
process can be hijacked the sensors and devices for
communication by attackers. Gateway plays an important
role in communication. IoTcanreplacedamaged devices and
install new devices. Authentication and authorization canbe
achieved by end-to-end encryption.Endnodescanbehacked
by attackers. Biometric information can be used to
authenticate and authorize the communication.
4. CONCLUSION
This paper presents a survey on vulnerable issues in IoT
security. Tremendous changes occurs in business utilizing
big data by analyzing and targetingmarketingspecifications.
Business organizations should concentrate on security and
secure communications through IoT security techniques.
Security becomes very vulnerable in our current scenario
hence there is an need to secure our information by using
any of the Cryptographic and Stenographic security
measures in the information exchangeprocessand useof the
efficient methods for communication will result in more
secure and robust IoT information.

Passive tag- The information relay of EPC occurs only by activation by a transceiverfromapredefinedrangeof the tag. This is mainly used as RFID tags for automated exchange of information without any manual involvement. The most common attacks are Attack on Authenticity- This attack render a RFID tag to malfunction and misbehave under the scan of a tag reader, its EPC giving misinformationagainsttheunique numerical combination identity assigned to it. Attack on Integrity- The capturing of the identification information through the manipulation of the tags by rogue readers. Attack on Confidentiality- A tag can be traced through rogue readers, which may result in givingupof sensitive information. Attack on Availability- The communicating signal between the reader and the tag is intercepted, recorded and replayed upon the receipt of any query from the reader at a later time, thus faking the availability of the tag. 3.4. SECURITY ISSUES IN PHYSICAL LAYER: This layer performs the function of selection and generation of carrier frequency, modulation and demodulation, encryption and decryption, transmission and reception of data. This layer is mainly attacked through Jamming- This occupies the communication channel between nodes thus preventing them from communicating with each other. Node tampering- Physical tampering of the node to extract sensitive information. 3.5. SECURITY ISSUES IN DATA LINK LAYER: This layer of WSN multiplexes the various data streams, provides detection of data frame, MAC and error control. This layer is mainly attacked through Collision- Collision occurs when two nodes simultaneously transmit packet of data on the same channel. Unfairness- Repeated collision based attack. Battery Exhaustion- Thisoccurunusuallyhigh trafficin a channel making its accessibility very limited to the nodes.

SECURITY ISSUES IN NETWORK LAYER: The function of this layer is routing. This layer is mainly attacked through Spoofing- This causes replaying and misdirection of traffic. Hello flood attack- This causes high traffic in channels by congesting the channel with an unusually high number of useless messages. Homing- A Search is made in traffic for cluster heads and key managers which has thecapabilitytoshutdown the entire network. Sybil- The attacker replicates a single node and represent it with multiple identities to other nodes. Wormhole- Relocation of bits of data from its original position in the network. 3.7. SECURITY ISSUES IN TRANSPORT LAYER: This layer provides reliability of data transmission and avoids congestion resulting from high traffic in the routers. This layer is mainly attacked through Flooding- Refers to deliberate congestion channels through relay of unnecessary messages and high traffic. De-synchronization- Fake messages arecreatedatone or both endpoints requesting retransmission for correction of non-existent error. 3.8. SECURITY ISSUES IN APPLICATION LAYER: This layer is responsible for traffic management. This also acts as the provider of software for different applications which carries out the translation of data into a comprehensible form or helpsincollectionofinformation by sending queries. 3.9. SECURITY CHALLENGES WITHIN IoT AND BIG DATA: IoT is main target of security attacks is whole communication process is performed between IoT devices. The components involved are IoT device itself and gateway. If gateway is damaged then whole communication process gets affected. Interferencecausedduetojammingof physical channel between nodes. Signal interception caused due to traffic flow, unauthenticated access, insecure network resources. Intrusion occurs due to insecure user interfaces, software. Exploitation occurs when attackers act as authenticated users to access the data. Communication process can be hijacked the sensors and devices for communication by attackers. Gateway plays an important role in communication. IoTcanreplacedamaged devices and install new devices. Authentication and authorization canbe achieved by end-to-end encryption.Endnodescanbehacked by attackers. Biometric information can be used to authenticate and authorize the communication. 4. CONCLUSION This paper presents a survey on vulnerable issues in IoT security. Tremendous changes occurs in business utilizing big data by analyzing and targetingmarketingspecifications. Business organizations should concentrate on security and secure communications through IoT security techniques. Security becomes very vulnerable in our current scenario hence there is an need to secure our information by using any of the Cryptographic and Stenographic security measures in the information exchangeprocessand useof the efficient methods for communication will result in more secure and robust IoT information. 5.
