Wireless communication networks are highly prone
to security threats. The major applications of wireless communication networks are in military, business, healthcare, retail,
and transportations. These systems use wired, cellular, or adhoc
networks. Wireless sensor networks, actuator networks, and
vehicular networks have received a great attention in society
and industry. In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has
received considerable research attention. The IoT is considered
as future of the internet. In future, IoT will play a vital role
and will change our living styles, standards, as well as business
models. The usage of IoT in different applications is expected
to rise rapidly in the coming years. The IoT allows billions of
devices, peoples, and services to connect with others and exchange
information. Due to the increased usage of IoT devices, the IoT
networks are prone to various security attacks. The deployment
of efficient security and privacy protocols in IoT networks is
extremely needed to ensure confidentiality, authentication, access
control, and integrity, among others. In this paper, an extensive
comprehensive study on security and privacy issues in IoT
networks is provided.
