Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized the way we live, work and communicates, with wearable devices being a prime example. Wearable devices, particularly those designed for women's safety, have gained popularity due to their ability to provide instant help during emergencies. However, these devices face several security challenges that need to be addressed to ensure the safety of their users. One of the primary security challenges faced by IoT-based wearable devices is the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive user data. Wearable devices collect a vast amount of personal information, including location, health data, and other personal identifiers, which, if compromised, could lead to serious privacy violations. Another critical security challenge is the risk of device hacking, which could lead to remote control of the device, data theft, and even physical harm to the user. Wearable devices that lack robust security mechanisms are vulnerable to malicious attacks, making it imperative to incorporate strong security protocols in their design. Moreover , the security of IoT-based wearable devices for women's safety should be a top priority in their design, development, and implementation. These devices must have robust security mechanisms to safeguard user data and prevent unauthorized access and hacking. Additionally, user awareness and education on safe device usage practices are crucial to ensure the security and privacy of their personal information.
