Abstract
To realise the broad vision of pervasive computing,
underpinned by the “Internet of Things” (IoT), it is essential to
break down application and technology-based silos and support
broad connectivity and data sharing; the cloud being a natural
enabler. Work in IoT tends towards the subsystem, often focusing
on particular technical concerns or application domains, before
offloading data to the cloud. As such, there has been little regard
given to the security, privacy and personal safety risks that arise
beyond these subsystems; that is, from the wide-scale, crossplatform
openness that cloud services bring to IoT.
In this paper we focus on security considerations for IoT from
the perspectives of cloud tenants, end-users and cloud providers,
in the context of wide-scale IoT proliferation, working across
the range of IoT technologies (be they things or entire IoT
subsystems). Our contribution is to analyse the current state of
cloud-supported IoT to make explicit the security considerations
that require further work.
