Hawk eye security- security IOT deveices from cyber attacks

Abstract

IoT devices have low computational power due to which security protocols demanding high speed computation cannot be implemented on preprocessing layer. This can compromise the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information collected through IoTs. The project “Hawk Eye Security” aims at securing IoT devices against common security attacks like DDOS (Distributed Denial of service attacks), Man in the Middle attack (MITM) and Spoofing (IP and MAC spoofing) by providing security at Perception, Network and Application Layer and disallowing intrusion of any unauthorized user. The proposed module can act as an Access point (AP) for the IoT devices which is then connected with the internet. A user-friendly Graphical user interface (GUI) and an Android application for remotely controlling IoT devices have also been developed. HAWK EYE Security has a wide variety of applications. It can secure IoT devices ranging from home network to health care and surveillance of military and civilian infrastructure. In countries like Islamic Republic of Pakistan where security is an untouched topic, this module can be useful in protecting national projects like Smart Cities.
