Now is the era of high-tech development. With the advancement of science and technology, our cities are becoming more and more intelligent. Among them, smart street lights are placed at the edge of the wave, and smart light poles rise to the ground. However, many people also have the following doubts about the common network security issues in the smart light pole industry:

1. Security issues at the perception level

Due to sending a large amount of information, a certain node may be attacked to a certain extent;

If various nodes in the perception layer are intercepted and manipulated by an attacker, it will cause the attacker to launch an attack on the Internet;

It is necessary to always understand the signs, identification of each node, and grasp related issues.

2. Security issues at the network layer

First, from the structure of the smart light pole itself, access methods and security issues of various devices;

Because the smart common pole access method will mainly rely on the mobile communication network. However, mobile communication networks have insecure factors such as wireless eavesdropping, identity impersonation, and data tampering.

Second, network-related security issues for data transmission

The core network layer of smart light poles mainly relies on traditional network technology. The serious problem it faces is the shortage of the existing network address space. The main solution lies in the advancing IPv6 technology. However, some security risks follow the new IPv6 technology. The introduction of features will become more serious, such as denial of service attacks (DDoS) and other abnormal traffic attacks are still rampant, or even more serious, mainly including TCP-fiood, UDP-flood and other existing DDoS attacks, as well as the defects of the IPv6 protocol itself. The attack caused by etc.

Third, security issues at the application layer

As the business terminals of the smart light pole system become more intelligent, the functionality of the smart light pole system has become more abundant, and at the same time, the channels through which the terminal is infected with viruses, Trojan horses or malicious codes are also increased.

At the same time, the network terminal’s own system platform lacks integrity protection and verification mechanisms, and the platform’s software/hardware modules are easily tampered with by attackers. Once stolen or tampered with, the private information stored therein will be facing the leaking wind.
