ABSTRACT
Recently, two terms, namely Big Data and Internet of Things (IoT) have gained popularity individually. However, their interconnections are not fully explored and understood. It is expected that the fusion of Big Data and IoT would create many complex systems for smart cities. While the data from IoT lies in Big Data, the scale of operations are completely different in terms of providing the required real-time analytics for such smart systems. Even though NoSQL databases and other next generation solutions could be deployed to achieve real-time responses, the major security challenges need to be understood as mission critical and sensitive data intertwines Big Data and IoT. In this paper, we identify the security challenges shared by the closely-knit Big Data and IoT in three main risk areas: i) NoSQL security vulnerabilities, ii) mobile IoT (M-IoT) security and privacy constraints and iii) encryption key security threats. We perform a comparative study of security vulnerabilities of NoSQL databases and identify the security and privacy constraints of M-IoT networks. Encryption key attacks for resource constrained IoT devices are also illustrated mathematically. Overall, this paper explores new research directions in these prime areas of security and privacy that would result in solution opportunities for a meaningful fusion of Big Data and IoT for a smart environment.
