Securing Internet Of Things (Iot) Data Storage, Savannah Malo

Honors Theses and Capstones

Internet of Things (IoT) devices are commonly known to be susceptible to security attacks, which can lead to the leakage, theft, or erasure of data. Despite similar attack methods used on conventional technologies, IoT devices differ in how they consist of a small amount of hardware, limited networking capability, and utilize NoSQL databases. IoT solutions prefer NoSQL databases since they are compatible for larger datasets, unstructured and time-series data. However, these implementations are less likely to employ critical security features, like authentication, authorization, and encryption. The purpose of this project is to understand why those security measures are not strictly …
