Abstract:
The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging paradigm in which physical objects are connected to each other and user via the Internet in order to share information between devices and systems. In the IoT environment, smart devices are deployed to monitor, control and analyze business, personal, and social activities. The pervasive nature of the IoT may well be beneficial but it also presents a risk from malware, hacker intrusion, viruses and the like. The consequent security and privacy issues may cause physical damage and even threaten human lives. This paper targets two areas; initially,the paper provides a review of the IoT layered architecture with the security challenges/attacks to setting up an IoT environment. After that, the paper proposes a solution which can preserve the privacy of multimedia data within anIoT environment atits perception layer. The proposed security solutionwill support the multimedia to function effectively, while at the same time preserving the confidentiality of the information transmitted and the privacy of individuals.
