Using the Internet, conduct a survey on the security issues related to the Internet of Things. Summarize your findings and prepare a typewritten report of at least two pages, using 10pt font and single spacing. You should include the following sections in your report: (25 marks)

Introduction: Include a general introduction about the technology, its application areas, how the technology works, etc.

Architecture: Describe proposed or available network architectures of the network.

Security challenges faced by this technology: Discuss the security challenges for this technology that need addressing before its widespread use (if you think that there are many security challenges, pick the top five and discuss them in order). You may also classify the security challenges into different categories, such as security in communication medium, security challenges in hardware, security standardization challenges, privacy challenges, etc.

Proposed solution: How can you mitigate these challenges? In other words, what are the proposed solutions in the literatures? If you find multiple solutions, discuss all of them.

Your observations: In this section, discuss what you think about this technology (its impact on the future, how it would change the way we live, etc.). Can you find any new security problem/challenge that nobody has talked about? Can you come up with any new or modified solution to any of the challenges that you have identified?
