Abstract

There is an increasing interest in IoT-enabled smart digital systems. However, it is important to address their security concerns. This paper aims to address this need and proposes an adaptive architecture driven approach to securing IoT systems. The paper proposes IoT security principles and a foundational adaptive architecture framework. These two combined provide a guide to design and embed the security across various layers of an IoT system. This will ensure that the important aspects of the IoT security are not accidentally missed, and thus provides a holistic end to end adaptive architecture driven approach for IoT security. This paper covers the interaction, human, digital technology, physical facility and environment architecture layers and principles related to IoT security as opposed to focusing only on the IoT devices. Thus, it demonstrates and concludes that the IoT security is much more than IoT device, network and perimeter security.
