Description
Summary:The connectivity and intelligence of Internet of Things (IoT) equipment offer improved services, but several technical challenges have emerged in recent years that hinder the widespread application of IoT, e.g., security and safety. Cyber-security and privacy countermeasures are widely used in IoT equipment, and many studies have been conducted. However, an important aspect that is often overlooked in security literature is IoT equipment's physical security and safety, namely, preventing IoT equipment from vandalism and theft. Therefore, this article provides an overview of IoT equipment's physical security and safety to draw attention to new research opportunities in this area. Afterward, we discuss, among other aspects, antitheft and antivandalism schemes along with circuit and system design, additional sensing devices, biometry and behavior analysis, and tracking methods. Besides, we summarize the artificial intelligence solutions for the physical security and safety of IoT equipment. Finally, we conclude with four future research opportunities.
