IOT (INTERNET OF THINGS)#1

A network of interconnected devices that communicate and exchange data over the internet, enabling automation and remote control.

CYBERSECURITY#2

The practice of protecting systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks, ensuring data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

ENCRYPTION#3

A method of converting information into a secure format, making it unreadable to unauthorized users, thereby protecting data integrity.

PROTOTYPING#4

The process of creating a preliminary model of an IoT device to test and validate design concepts and functionalities.

SECURITY PROTOCOLS#5

Rules and standards that dictate how data is transmitted and secured between devices to prevent unauthorized access.

DATA INTEGRITY#6

The accuracy and consistency of data over its lifecycle, ensuring it remains unaltered during transmission or storage.

VULNERABILITY#7

A weakness in a system that can be exploited by attackers to gain unauthorized access or cause harm.

RISK ASSESSMENT#8

The process of identifying, analyzing, and evaluating risks associated with security threats to IoT devices.

MALWARE#9

Malicious software designed to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to computer systems or networks.

AUTHENTICATION#10

The process of verifying the identity of a user or device before granting access to a system.

FIREWALL#11

A network security device that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing traffic based on predetermined security rules.

SECURE SOCKET LAYER (SSL)#12

A standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a server and a client.

ASYMMETRIC ENCRYPTION#13

A type of encryption that uses a pair of keys (public and private) for secure data transmission.

SYMMETRIC ENCRYPTION#14

An encryption method where the same key is used for both encryption and decryption of data.

IOT ARCHITECTURE#15

The structural design of an IoT system, detailing the components and their interactions.

MQTT (MESSAGE QUEUING TELEMETRY TRANSPORT)#16

A lightweight messaging protocol for small sensors and mobile devices optimized for high-latency or unreliable networks.

COAP (CONSTRAINED APPLICATION PROTOCOL)#17

A protocol designed for simple devices on constrained networks, enabling communication in IoT applications.

SECURITY BREACH#18

An incident that results in unauthorized access to sensitive data, often leading to data loss or corruption.

THREAT MODELING#19

A structured approach to identify and prioritize potential threats to a system or application.

DEVICE AUTHORIZATION#20

The process of granting or denying access rights to a device based on its identity and permissions.

SECURITY MEASURES#21

Strategies and controls implemented to protect IoT devices and networks from threats.

SECURITY BEST PRACTICES#22

Recommended guidelines and techniques for ensuring robust security in IoT device design and implementation.

INTEROPERABILITY#23
