An Extensive Examination on IOT and Industrial IOT: Attacks, Security, Detection Methods, Blockchain Solutions and Challenges

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has consistently expanded in both the quantity of devices implemented and the variety of applications in which these devices are used. They exhibit significant variations in terms of their dimensions, processing capabilities, storage capacity, and energy consumption. The IoT has facilitated the ongoing digitization of society in several ways during the last decade. The IoT is an extensive network of interconnected smart gadgets that exchange data via web channels. The security aspect of IoT is of utmost importance due to its fast proliferation as a new technological paradigm, since it may include safety-critical operations and the digital storage of confidential information. Regrettably, the foremost obstacle that arises when using IoT technology is security. Consequently, enhancing the security of IoT devices is now the primary focus for manufacturers and researchers. There is a significant amount of literature that covers various challenges related to the topic and offers viable solutions. However, the majority of current research lacks a comprehensive viewpoint on assaults inside the IoT. Therefore, the purpose of this survey is to create a framework that will assist researchers in classifying attacks in a taxonomy based on different factors, including attack domains, threat types, execution methods, software surfaces, IoT protocols, device properties, adversary locations, and levels of information damage caused by the attacks.
