Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT), which refers to a combination of devices, systems, and services, is a new concept that goes beyond machine-to-machine communications and contains advanced automation and integrated cyber-physical systems. Communication engineering is the basis of this transformation, providing the fundamental support for device interconnectivity and data exchange. However, the integration of communication technologies within IoT has also brought complex security challenges that must be overcome to provide the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of signals and messages. This essay examines the multiple applications of communication engineering within the IoT, as well as the security issues during its implementation. It commences with an introduction and comparative analysis of various communication protocols that are widely accepted in the IoT ecosystem, analyzing their performance, efficiency, and reliability in data transmission. Subsequently, the essay discussed the security vulnerability of these protocols and the potential threats they brought to IoT networks. With the aim of overcoming these challenges, the essay conducts a comprehensive analysis of security solutions including encompassing encryption technologies, secure communication protocols, and authentication mechanisms.
