on the IoT held in 2013 observed that standardization in Cloud access technologies could be the major impairment for the IoT. In this regard, a 2012 report, from the European Research Cluster on IoT, identified the following aspects for architecture development: Structure reference frameworks for logical hardware and software components still need to be developed and refined. Questions of object identification, virtualization, and decentralization still need to be finalized. The interoperability of the IoT across application sectors needs to be ensured. Security and Privacy As with everything else related to the Internet, issues about security and privacy dominate the IoT. With the number of devices that will be getting on to the Internet directly or indirectly, there are key questions about security aspects that need to be addressed. Risks remain about vulnerabilities related to security issues that could lead to annoyances and also losses of an economic nature to the businesses involved. Also, one can only imagine what havoc can be wrecked by those who could take control of such devices via the Internet and could harm or impair many systems by creating problems that range from household issues to complex industrial shutdowns. As with sensitive information collected by social networks today, questions remain about privacy concerns for the huge amount of data that would be gathered, collected, analyzed, and disseminated to a wide variety of manual and automated systems. With the prospect that additional devices could in turn be using the data collected in other ways, the complexity of the problems and rules that govern gain more importance. Also, different countries and businesses could have different laws regarding privacy of data, which also may need to be aligned and adhered to in making the IoT applications work together safely. Lifecycle processes that cover the data also need to be defined and adhered to. Interoperability Testing Standardization efforts are further needed to ensure that all the systems part
