State of Internet of Things (IoT) Security Attacks, Vulnerabilities and Solutions

Internet of things (IoT) security is the technology area concerned with safeguarding networks and connected devices in the internet of things (IoT). IoT involves adding internet connectivity to a system of mechanical and digital machines, interrelated computing devices, animals, people and/or objects. Each "thing" is provided a unique identifier and the ability to automatically transfer data over a network. Allowing devices to connect to the internet opens them up to a number of serious vulnerabilities if they are not properly protected. In this paper, we discuss the different attacks and vulnerabilities which is classified by layer in the architechture. We also proposed solutions to mitigate and counter these attacks and vulnerabilities
