Abstract
We have entered a tremendous computerized rev-olution of the Internet of Things (IoT) era when everything is connected. The popularity of IoT systems makes security for the IoT of paramount importance. Security patterns consist of domain-independent time-proven security knowledge and expertise. Would they be applicable to develop secure IoT systems? We aim to draw a research landscape of patterns and architectures for IoT security by conducting a systematic literature review. From more than a thousand of candidate papers, we have systematically distinguished and analyzed twenty-two (22) papers that have been published around patterns and architectures for IoT security (and privacy). Our analysis shows a rise in the number of publications tending to security patterns and architectures in the last two years. Within this rise, we see that most patterns and architectures are applicable for all IoT systems, while some are limited within specific domains. However, there are gaps in this research area that can be filled in to promote the utilization of patterns for IoT security and privacy.
