| Abstract: Machine to machine (M2M) technology is bringing
benefits to humans, as well as the new market opportunities for M2M
device manufacturers, service providers, and Telco operators. On the
other hand, the deployment of M2M technologies is raising numerous challenges, in the first place those in security, which are not
encountered in traditional communication networks, and therefore
not answered yet. Due to the low cost and mass deployment nature of
M2M devices and infrastructure developed so far for their support, security issues are not fully addressed by the existing wireless devices
and standard cellular networks. An overview of new security
challenges for M2M networks is given in this paper |
