Applications and challenges faced by internet of things - A survey

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept which expands the extent of internet by integrating a physical object to discover them into contributing bodies. This novel idea allows a physical gadget to embody itself in the digital world. There are a bunch of conjectures and opportunistic future of the IoT devices. However, most of them are vendor specific and requires a cohesive standard, which delivers their flawless assimilation and interoperable operations. Another key issue is the need of highly secure features in these devices and their equivalent products. Majority of these devices are resource constrained and not able to sustain computationally intricate and resource overwhelming secure algorithms. In this paper, we present a survey of various applications which have been made possible by IoT. Furthermore, the challenges faced by these networks.
