An overview of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine to Machine (M2M) Communications

Abstract

The Internet will grow when sensors and intelligence are attached to physical objects like assets or consumer products, which are then connected to the Internet. This procedure is referred to as machine-to-machine (M2M) communications and the Internet of Things (IoT). The concept and paradigm have been around for a while, but there has been an increase in the quantity and variety of connected devices as well as in technology for information gathering, processing, and sharing. Over the past decade, attacks on flexible architectures have increased. Malware, staged attacks, and coercion have all been added. While M2M increases the number of devices using distant structures for Internet connection, the Internet of Things (IoT) presents another attack vector. Between the existing methods for system structure improvement and the understanding of how these new improvements are unusual and how they are comparable, there is a gap in evaluation. Executions of countermeasures are hampered since current frameworks do not properly take the use of technological developments into account. These frameworks fall short when it comes to a strategy for identifying network issues that are occurring right now and when it comes to tools for examining, classifying, and analyzing non-human device countermeasures. With phones, smart cars, smart coffee makers, and an unlimited number of other smart appliances gradually gaining access to our lives and starting to have an impact on the future, the Internet of Things, which may be the phenomenon with the quickest growth in the whole IT sector, has already established itself as a fully-fledged partner in our everyday routines. Understanding the differences between the Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-To-Machine (M2M) communication, which is the fundamental concept that gave rise to the IoT as we know it, seems to be essential to comprehending the present IoT environment. The study examines some of the most important M2M and IoT applications, and it offers a response to the novel structures based on an assessment of M2M devices that extend the lifespan of the whole IoT natural framework.
