Issues and challenges

• Design issues
• Technical issues
• Security issues
 Design issues
➢ Stability of network Challenge:
• Deploying IoT products in unstable network.(ex: Poor
GSM / GPRS signals).

➢ Power management Challenge:

• Overall power consumption by sensory nodes in IoT
should be minimal,should consider fluctuations
• Higher power backup • Power fluctuations
➢ Memory management Challenge:
• Choosing right memory and data structure.
➢ Selection of components ,products with good shielding
, selection of protocols puts up a lot of challenges
during design phase .
 Technical issues
• In wireless communication, Convergence of
GSM, UMTS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, WPAN.
• These technologies use different
communication standards and have different
communication bandwidth requirement.
• interoperability issues
• Scalability of Networks(Unbounded no. of
devices as compared to traditional network)
• Processing and Computing;
 Technical issues …
•Need of lightweight protocols for IoT which
minimize energy consumption.
• Things- Computers, sensor nodes, people,
vehicles, medicines, books etc.
• Things should be uniquely identified for the
addressing capabilities and for providing
means to communicate with each other
• Unique identification of devices using IPv4
and IPv6.
 Security issues

• Authentication, privacy, trustworthiness, confidentiality, end

to end security
• User Privacy.
• Weak Default Passwords.
• Many IoT devices come with original default passwords
that are weak.
• Although it is recommended that you change the passwords,
some IT leaders fail to take this simple step.
• A weak, easy-to-guess password could leave an IoT device
vulnerable attack.
• This is issue so prevalent that California banned default
passwords in 2018.
