Security assessments of IoT devices employing mobile computing-Systematic literature review

Abstract

The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and mobile computing has resulted in an unprecedented growth in the number of connected devices, which has brought enormous benefits in terms of convenience, efficiency, and productivity [2]. These IoT devices gadgets like sensors, smart home appliances, and other linked devices are made to function with mobile computing gadgets like smartphones and tablets. The rapid expansion of the IoT and mobile computing also poses serious security challenges. IoT devices are often deployed in environments with limited security controls, making them vulnerable to various cyber-attacks. This paper presents a systematic literature review on security assessments of Internet of Things (IoT) devices that employ mobile computing. The review examines the state of the art in IoT security, including the identification of potential threats, attacks, and vulnerabilities. The paper also discusses the methodologies and tools used to evaluate the security of IoT devices and mobile computing systems. Based on the analysis of the reviewed literature, the paper provides recommendations for future research on IoT security, with an emphasis on the importance of incorporating mobile computing in security assessments.
