Résumé: Recent years have seen the rapid development and integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing. The market is providing various consumer-oriented smart IoT devices; the mainstream cloud service providers are building their software stacks to support IoT services. With this emerging trend even growing, the security of such smart IoT cloud systems has drawn much research attention in recent years. To better understand the emerging consumer-oriented smart IoT cloud systems for practical engineers and new researchers, this article presents a review of the most recent research efforts on existing, real, already deployed consumer-oriented IoT cloud applications in the past five years using typical case studies. Specifically, we first present a generalmodel for the IoT cloud ecosystem. Then, using themodel,we reviewand summarize recent, representative research works on emerging smart IoT cloud system security using 10 detailed case studies, with the aim that the case studies together provide insights into the insecurity of current emerging IoT cloud systems.We further present a systematic approach to conduct a security analysis for IoT cloud systems. Based on the proposed security analysis approach,we reviewand suggest potential security riskmitigationmethods to protect IoT cloud systems. We also discuss future research challenges for the IoT cloud security area.
