An Internet of things is an emerging technology are used in wide range of smart applications as smart cities, smart health, smart fitness, smart agriculture, smart home and other applications like institutions and military areas. They are aggregated together many interconnected devices which connects with an internet and various sensors. An IoT architecture is divided into various layers as perception layer, network layer and application layer. Due to wide usage of these smart devices, lack on security takes place and has the possibility of occurring the attacks. In this review paper, deep description on application layer protocols like Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP), Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT), Advance Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) and REST (Representational State Transport) etc. and security threats on application layers and its attacks that care classified as web & mobile application and RFID attacks are represented.

Abstract


An Internet of things is an emerging technology are used in wide range of smart applications as smart cities, smart health, smart fitness, smart agriculture, smart home and other applications like institutions and military areas. They are aggregated together many interconnected devices which connects with an internet and various sensors. An IoT architecture is divided into various layers as perception layer, network layer and application layer. Due to wide usage of these smart devices, lack on security takes place and has the possibility of occurring the attacks. In this review paper, deep description on application layer protocols like Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP), Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT), Advance Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) and REST (Representational State Transport) etc. and security threats on application layers and its attacks that care classified as web & mobile application and RFID attacks are represented.
