Real-Time Internet of Things Security (RIoTS)

Abstract

The field of Internet of things and worldwide real time information exchange is gradually increasing. IoT devices and services are becoming more widely available. Threats and assaults against IoT devices and services are also on the rise as a result of their success. In the IoT world, cyber-attacks are nothing new, but as the IoT gets more deeply embedded in our lives and communities, it will be critical to step up and take cyber defense seriously. Our project aims to safeguard everyday IoT devices being used by society. RIoTS will be installed at the gateway, allowing all data exchanged and created by smart IoT devices to pass through. Using pre-trained machine learning algorithms, it would be able to detect unusual entrance and egress traffic, as well as cyber-attacks like analyzing what information goes out of the network, and it captures the traffic and analysis that, sees if there are weak passwords that can be compromised, it checks whether devices are vulnerable to DoS attacks, whether remote code can be executed over them, whether the communication they are using with the rest of the internet is unencrypted or not, if information is being leaked and whether there are configuration issues that the attacker can exploit because even one of these internal IoT device is compromised then it will act as a pivot point to launch wider range of attacks on rest of the IoT network. By securing smart IoT devices, RIoTS can help assure data privacy and security. Keywords: Internet of things, real time information, data privacy and security, Cyber-attacks
