Abstract

In the era of Internet of Things (IOT) revolutionizing modern lifestyle, protecting the IOT devices present unique challenge to secure, since the devices have heterogeneous architecture, constrained-resource and ever-evolving cyber-threats. This work introduces a lightweight, multi-layer security mechanism designed for IoT environments that combines adaptive cryptography, real-time intrusion detection, and behaviour-based anomaly detection. In contrast to traditional models which are limited to network or cloud layers only, the proposed methodology provides complete security from the device to the edge and cloud that is both scalable and has low overhead. The model is analyzed under various case studies including smart home, health care and industrial IoT to show that it is more stable against multi-vector attacks, reduces latency and enhances energy efficiency. This effort also delves into post-quantum cryptographic readiness, providing a future-proof approach for next generation connected ecosystems.
