Addressing IoT Privacy and Security a Comprehensive Perception into Challenges and Improvement Strategies

The IoT devices network development has grown exponentially in the current scenarios and has greatly influenced the subject of digital networking in many fields due to its accessibility and effectiveness. But at the same time, this growth raises significant problems of confidentiality and protection of user information, which may be compromised or attacked. In this paper, an evaluation of the current state of IoT security challenges is given based on data privacy, authentication, device security, and the influence of network structure. It measures solutions including current encryptions like emerging encryption technologies, artificial intelligence for anomaly detection, blockchain technology, and edge computing to counter these challenges efficiently. Comparing them during the discussion the paper defines the most perspective solutions for real-time IoT environments and compares their effectiveness, efficiency and scalability along with the costs.
