Improving IoT Privacy, Data Protection and Security Concerns

Abstract

IoT has continued to evolve over the years with a promise to provide the users with effective means to interact, communicate, transact and create strong relationship. The invention and the development of IoT have created benefits for many businesses and individuals. However, as the IoT continues to evolve and develop, it has been subjected to certain threats and vulnerabilities. The common vulnerabilities notable in IoT include the security, privacy and data protection concerns. These issues have not been addressed by many scholars thus necessitated the need for this research study. Therefor the research study was concerned with the developed of a new IoT model that can enhance the security and privacy of the users of the IoT. The results indicate that the new model can be effective in addressing the needs of the IoT users. However, it noted that future research studies are still needed to improve the performance of the IoT security models.
