Analysis of IoT Vulnerabilities and Proposed Solution Approach for Secure Real-Time IoT Communication

The growing reliance on real-time communication in Internet of Things (IoT) devices raises concerns about security vulnerabilities. Our research identifies vulnerabilities in prevalent IoT protocols that could enable attackers to disrupt communication, compromise data, or even seize control of devices. By analyzing various threats in a test environment, we found that insecure device configurations and weak authentication mechanisms were the primary culprits. We demonstrate the effectiveness of implementing robust authentication, end-to-end data encryption, and network segmentation in mitigating these vulnerabilities. Our findings emphasize the need for proactive security measures in developing and deploying real-time IoT communication systems.
