Abstract: The rapid proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has brought about unprecedented opportunities for connectivity and data-driven innovation across various domains. However, this surge in interconnectedness also raises significant concerns regarding security and privacy. This survey paper synthesizes a comprehensive range of literature spanning from seminal works to recent research endeavors, delving into the multifaceted landscape of IoT security and privacy. We explore various dimensions of trust management, privacy-preserving techniques, and security frameworks tailored for the IoT ecosystem. Additionally, we scrutinize the evolving threat landscape, encompassing vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed and privacy implications associated with location tracking. Drawing upon insights from diverse scholarly contributions, we aim to provide a holistic understanding of the challenges and advancements in safeguarding IoT systems against malicious exploits while preserving user privacy. By synthesizing the collective knowledge from the surveyed literature, this paper offers valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers engaged in fortifying the security and privacy foundations of the IoT paradigm.
