Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) is a framework in which every real-world object can be identified uniquely and has the capacity to send and receive data to the network. This paper presents analysis and survey on IOT security, also discusses the current status and challenges of IOT security. Typically, there are three layers in IoT architecture, i.e. perception layer, network layer, and application layer. For secure internet of things realization, at each layer a number of security principles should be enforced. In the future the implementation of IoT is only possible if the security issues related to each layer are resolved and addressed. A number of researchers try to address and to give corresponding countermeasures to secure each layer of IoT. This paper provides an overview on proposed countermeasures and challenges of Security.
