Abstract

IoT covers up billions of communicating devices, people and services to be linked, exchange information and
useful data and is considered as a part of the Internet of the future aspect. IoT is formed by Ubiquitous and Pervasive
computing, Internet Protocol, Sensor Technologies with Communicating and embedded devices. These technologies are
combined together and form a system where the real world gets benefits by digital world and interact continuously. The
objects are turned into smart objects when we put intelligence with them and able not only to gather information from the
environment and interact and even control the bodily world, but also to be interconnected, to each other, through
Internet to exchange data and information. As IoT expands from millions of devices to tens of billions in the upcoming
years, it will have crucial impacts on infrastructure, industry standards, security and business models throughout the
entire IT environment. Number of security and privacy issues will arise with this [1]
