INTRODUCTION

In the succeeding coming years, it will have major effects on business models,
infrastructure, security, and, trade standards, during the complete IT computing
and networking systems. The Internet of Things is a new light of technology
progression in the early stages of market growth. IoT has the potential to speed
up the “sharing economy.” So as offering new techniques to manage and track
minor things, it will also allow the sharing of new, minor and economical items
outside the communities, aircrafts, cars and motorbikes. As it trends go on, it
will offer exclusively novel applications, that will drive new business
prototypes and profit prospects .It pushes devices and sensors to more granular
levels and enables the creation of new uses, new applications, new services and
new business models that were not previously economically feasible. It will also
dangerous for lots of current industries. Today, in worldwide IoT Technology is
among top 5 technologies according to Gartner’s Chart. That means, It is highly
used in different sector in different role either it is in smart homes or vehicle
tracking, kids and old age peoples monitoring or daily routine job. However at
present the actuality is that these segments hire several IoT enabling devices,
and future is already fragmenting of the new revolution.
ROLE OF IOT IN INDIA:

Government initiatives, supporting environment, good living standards and

increasing approval of smart applications plays the vital roles in the growth of
market. According to the report of COMSNETS in 2015 [1], Government think
about to invest in IoT for developing approximate 100 Smart cities its
approximate proposed cost is Rs.7060 crores.
Although according to Indians requirement, IoT product are useful in each
domain and various companies invest in lots of sector and this percentage is
increase day by day, but focus on Smart Water Management, Smart
Environment, Healthcare, Smart Agriculture, Smart Waste Management, Smart
Safety, Smart Supply Chain, etc. but according to the Indian economy factor
affordability to a billion population is very difficult. Supporting environment
and Indian Infrastructure like power supply, poor pollution, extreme
temperatures, high levels of humidity and dust, No clean and poor telecom
coverage.

The highest rated priority project by Indian Government is Digital India

Program which is used for encouragement of digitalisation, and make India as a
digital empowered country and knowledge economy, is expected to provide the
required motivation for expansion of the IoT productiveness ecosystem in the
country.
Challenges of the Internet of Things
A. Security: Security is an essential pillar of the Internet while the major
challenge for the IoT. As the time goes the trend of IoT inflates from
millions of devices to tens of billions. As increasing the number of
connected devices, the chance to exploit safety vulnerabilities is also
increase, like in cheap or low standard designed devices, due to incomplete
data streams the chances of data theft is increased by which people’s
health and safety can be risky. Many IoT arrangements will also include
collections of similar or adjacent similar devices. This homogeneity expands
the potential impact of any single security weakness by the total number of
devices that all have the same features.
B. Privacy: As Authenticity, trustworthiness and Confidentiality are important
aspects there are some other requirements also important like
discriminatory access to certain facilities, preclude them from shared with
other things at certain Times and business communications involving smart
objects would need to be secure from opponents’. The data networks are
still delicate and also costly in comparison of other developed country.
From an Indian perspective, the cloud storage operation is still in the
emerging stage .Transmit the data to a cloud service for processing,
sometimes includes a third party. The gathering of this information leaks
legal and regulatory challenges facing data protection and privacy law. In
order to realize the opportunities of the IoT, Some new strategies will be
required for privacy choices through a broad range of expectations, while
still development innovation in new technologies and services.

C. Standards: Absence of standards and documents can assist Senseless

activities by IoT devices. Low standard or cheap designed and configured
devices have undesirable consequences for the networking resources. Without
standards to guide developers and manufacturers, sometimes design products
that operate in disruptive ways on the Internet. When any technology have
standard development process then it can be easily available everywhere and
can used by all applicants, and increase the growth also. While in today’s
world, global standards are followed by every local station.

D. Trained workforce: Implementation of every technology requires team of

skilled persons those have ample knowledge of network, hardware, software
and about that technology. And India is backward in this point where manpower
think when technology is spread they lose their job and there is no life of new
technology. So they don’t take any initiative to lean about it. So every
organisation face lots of problem during their changeover phase from the legacy
systems to IoT enabled systems. Similarly Scalability, Fault tolerance and
Power supply are also big challenge in India.

Review of Survey on Risk , Security and Challenges in IoT
This Survey is based upon the security issues and challenges face in India.
Researchers face different problems like authenticity, interoperability, privacy,
data confidentiality, low range of internet signal, power supply, power backup,
fault tolerance, reliability, cost, poor support, and most important awareness and
skills. Here we discuss about some challenges and risk that already exists in
India which must take care and improve by government, service providers and
venders by which system provides market place of IoT and smart services in
India.
CONCLUSION
Finally, the future of IoT becomes a worth but massive amounts of data
increased its complexity in detection, communications, controller, and in
producing awareness but its growth will be increased day by day. Although
future of IoT will be predictable to be integrated, all-in-one, and ubiquitous.
Service organization required to be enclosed in a set of standards. So, As an
Intelligent system, progresses of IoT can be decided with the cooperation of
interoperability, awareness, skilled, teamwork, energy sustainability, privacy,
trust, confidentiality, and security. IoT have become an expected trend of
development of information industry. This will outcome in quality of lifestyles.
This paper surveyed some of the most important issues and challenges of IoT in
Indian perspective like what is being done and what are the issues that require
further improvement. Some possible improvements include adding a facility to
handle unified, seamless, and universal internet connectivity, standardization,
within teroperability. Energy sustainability, privacy, and security are also major
point on which research can go on. In the coming years, improving these
challenges will be a powerful and bold step for networking and network so that
there is no data loss due to network failure. 5. Challenges and Risk to
Implement IOT in Smart Homes: An Indian Perspective [8] Nov, 2016 -Risk is
to store the sensitive data either on local server or to use VPN in case using the
remote server of vendor. -When Security system based on the CCS (Centralized
Controlled System) for processing, application and data storage, then a risk of
central point of failure is increase. -End point protection, Trust & Safety,
Physical Security. -Hacking, DoS , updation, virus , password based attacks and
phishing -Internet connectivity, consistency and accessibility of necessary
signals bandwidth. -Cost of technology. -Poor supporting organizational setup. -
IoT adoption due to nonexistence of welltrained staff. -Lack of awareness of
IoT Systems, Services and Applications. 6. Health Care Systems Using Internet
of Things. [9] December, 2016 Data security causes concerns in the
implementation of IoT in healthcare. -Lack of EHR system integration. -
Interoperability challenges keep IoT data in different silos. -IoT data alone may
not be as meaningful if it is not within the context of a full health record. -
Constant changes in hardware and connectivity technology. communication in
commercial, industrial and academic area.
