“Internet of Things (IoT)” – a relatively recent term, build on decades of research has revolutionized almost every field in today’s world. IoT makes smart objects the ultimate building blocks in the development of cyber-physical smart pervasive frameworks. It has influenced our living from the way we react to the way we behave by utilizing the full potential of internet in enhancing the lifestyle of human beings. IoT is a network that connects physical devices of various domains like home automation, industrial process, vehicles, healthcare, weather monitoring, etc. to internet. From air conditioners that we can control with our smart phones, to smart cars providing the shortest route or smart watch which is tracking our daily activities. This paper is devoted to study the security architecture and its features in the domain of IoT. In the next part of the paper, the need and applications of IoT in various fields are discussed. This paper provides a general literature survey of recent progress and advances in the field of IoT. Next a hand-to-hand discussion of various issues and challenges being faced by various organizations are studied. In the final part of the paper, the most significant conclusions and suggestions are offered.
