SECURITY ANALYSIS OF INTERNET OF THINGS DEVICES

Abstract

Internet of Things devices are now disseminated in different places, whether domestic, corporate, or even outdoors. Those devices can connect with their respective networks and with the internet and sharing information with users, online servers and others smart devices in this process. Although there are now several security protocols and services for general purpose computing devices such as personal computers, others more specific purpose devices still need better security solutions. In this scenario, this work aims to identify the main security vulnerabilities in smart devices, research the behavior of user of these devices through an anonymous non-profit collection form for descriptive research and analyze the security features available in different smart devices, promoting a verification of physical vulnerabilities in the analyzed devices. At the end, considerations are made between the safety standards adopted in smart appliances in comparison with the standards used in traditional industries, whose products have been on the market longer and with well-established safety protocols.
