Abstract: Internet of Things referred as a pervasive network architecture which provides services to the physical world by processing and analyzing data. In this modern era Internet of Things has been shown much significance and rapidly developing by connecting heterogeneous devices with various technologies. By this way interconnectivity of large number of electronic devices connected with the IoT network leads the risk of security and confidentiality of data. This paper analyzes different security issues, their counter measures and discusses the future directions of security in IoT. Furthermore, this paper also discusses essential technologies of security like encryption in the scenario of IoT for the prevention of harmful threats in the light of latest research.
