Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) is used in homes and hospitals and deployed outdoors to control and report environmental changes, prevent fires, and perform many more beneficial functions. However, all these benefits come at the tremendous risk of loss of privacy and security issues. To protect the IoT, much research has been carried out to address these risks and find better ways to eliminate them or at least minimize their impact on user privacy and security requirements. This paper expounds various network security risks faced by the IoT, analyzes their impacts, discusses risk assessment methods, shows the causes and hazards of these threats, and proposes an overall framework of privacy security protection. This paper summarizes the typical defect types in the implementation of IoT firmware, analyzes the generation mechanism of typical defects from the perspectives of fuzzy testing, program verification and machine learning, and compares and expounds the progress of security research for several common IoT protocols. This paper analyzes and summarizes the mainstream access control model in the existing IoT and the access control model after using the blockchain and builds a new integrated AIoT architecture for intelligent information processing. Finally, this paper expounds on the current legal development status of the privacy protection of network information in various countries and discusses the future prospects of the IoT.
