IoT: Device Vulnerability & Security Concerns in Wearable Devices

Wearable IoT have broaden and improved the perspective of individuals about their surroundings. A successful IoT device has to be affordable as well as reliable. It should not interfere with other devices and should incorporate mechanisms to remain immune from interferences. It should further ensure effective battery life with perfect functionality and energy efficiency. However, the risks involved in attaining this ideal scenario are many. IoT include a plethora of devices or things like vehicles, smartphones, televisions, wearable devices like fitness tracking devices, smartwatch and Google Glass, etc. These devices are embedded with software applications, sensors and other components for receiving and sending data. A colossus of connected devices is created by inter-connectivity of those devices. This connectivity offers magnificent benefits to people’s lives but it entails certain security and privacy concerns. The most conspicuous among them are the wearable devices which are gain

IoT and LoRaWAN

The internet of things in the current world needs a wide network to handle a great many nodes well connected to each other and accessing the internet. This requires a network which is capable of handling the huge interconnectivity. The sensors on wireless networks are dependent upon devices with limited energy. This has led the network industry to explore methods with which energy could be saved. Considering the plethora of nodes connected over the internet LoRaWAN is an optimum solution. LoRaWAN is a low range-low power wide area network protocol for internet of things. The Low range-low power technology is being adopted all over the world as it is a licensed, free, low power WAN ecosystem. This protocol can provide smooth connectivity among large numbers of nodes interconnected on the internet. It helps to address problems of bandwidth latency and coverage over large range. It is a feasible technology which allows communication for long-range apps. This review report illustrates th
