The common vision of smart systems today, is by and large associated with one single concept, the internet
of things (IoT), where the whole physical infrastructure is linked with intelligent monitoring and
communication technologies through the use of wireless sensors. In such an intelligent vibrant system,
sensors are connected to send useful information and control instructions via distributed sensor networks.
Wireless sensors have an easy deployment and better flexibility of devices contrary to wired setup. With the
rapid technological development of sensors, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) will become the key
technology for IoT and an invaluable resource for realizing the vision of Internet of things (IoT) paradigm.
It is also important to consider whether the sensors of a WSN should be completely integrated into IoT or
not. New security challenges arise when heterogeneous sensors are integrated into the IoT. Security needs
to be considered at a global perspective, not just at a local scale. This paper gives an overview of sensor
integration into IoT, some major security challenges and also a number of security primitives that can be
taken to protect their data over the internet.
