Advanced Security Framework for Internet of Things (IoT)

The stimulus to carry out this research was to identify and propose a secure framework for the Internet of Things (IoT). Due to the massive accessibility and interconnection of IoT devices, systems are at risk of being exploited by hackers. Therefore, there is a need to find an advanced security framework that covers data security, data confidentiality, and data integrity issues. The study uses a systematic literature review (SLR) technique and complete substantive literature is reviewed to find out the constructs and themes in the existing literature. We performed it in four steps, which were inclusion, eligibility, screening, and identification. We reviewed around 568 articles from well-reputable journals, and after exclusion, 260 articles and 54 reports were analyzed. We performed an analysis using MAXQDA in which the nodes and themes were first identified. After the classification, a qualitative model was generated using MAXQDA. The proposed model is supported by the literature so it will be useful for the IT managers, developers, and the users of IoT.
