Abstract
This project addresses the security and privacy challenges of the
Internet of Things (IoT). IoT devices are used in many different fields
for a broad function including, healthcare, agriculture, and city
management. The proliferation of IoT devices creates vulnerabilities
that can lead to unauthorized access, insecure communications, and data
breaches. Improper authentication and authorization, insecure
communication protocols, and inappropriate software updates pose
significant risks to IoT devices and networks. Additionally, the
collection and processing of sensitive user data without proper consent
and lack of privacy-by-design principles compound privacy concerns. . As
a result of the analysis from literature reviews this project proposes
some solutions to mitigate these issues. In light of these concerns,
this project aims to explore and propose effective strategies to address
the privacy and consent challenges associated with IoT devices. By
examining the existing gaps in data protection, raising awareness among
users, and promoting responsible data collection practices, the project
strives to create a safer and more privacy-respecting IoT environment.
