Abstract: The use of technology has been constantly increasing in our lives and it is affecting it greatly. There has been no doubt in this claim that technology is headed in the direction of automation and is making steady progress. If we look at the definition of technology, it can be described as an act of progress that makes it easier to complete a task. Isn't it the very basic principle of technology to make our lives easier by leaving fewer things to be explicitly done by us? It might be making us all lazier every day, or one might argue that it is giving us far greater time to pursue whatever we desire. Whatever might be the effect, there is no doubt that automation is the future and the place that it is happening the most significant is right in our homes. Internet of things (IoT) makes our lives easier by automating every task at our homes starting from turning lights ON or OFF to opening or closing doors. The use of IoT is not restricted to homes but is also used in autonomous vehicles are commonly known as self-driving cars and many other applications. In this paper; Firstly, various definitions of IoT are introduced; Secondly, the architecture of IoT is discussed; Thirdly, the major challenges in the security of IoT which need addressing by the research community and corresponding potential solutions are investigated; Fourthly, some open issues related to the IoT applications are explored; Finally, discussion of IoT and future directions are systematically reviewed.
