Abstract
The internet of things describes the connection of distinctive embedded computing devices within the internet. It is the network of connection of physical things that has electronics that have been embedded within their architecture in order to sense and communicate to an external environment. IoT has turned up as a very powerful and promising technology, which brings up significant economic, social, and technical development. Meanwhile, it also brings up various security challenges. At present, nearly nine billion ‘things' (physical objects) are connected to the internet. Security is the major concern nowadays as the risks have very high consequences. This chapter presents a detailed view on the internet of things and the advancements of various technologies like cloud, fog, edge computing, IoT architectures, along with various technologies used to prevent and resolve these security and privacy issues of IoT. Finally, future research opportunities and challenges are discussed.
