The Internet of Things (IOT) is a recent technology originating from the field of sensor networks. It has received significant attention because it is involved in most aspects of our daily lives. The IOT vision makes objects of various kinds become part of the Internet by assigning each object a unique identifier, enabling objects to communicate with each other in the same or different environments. IOT can collect, process, and exchange data via a data communication network. There are many methods for identifying objects; some have existed since the beginning of IOT innovation, such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Barcode/2D code, IP address, Electronic Product Codes (EPC), etc. Continuous development in IOT domain and the large number of objects connected to the Internet daily require an improved identification method to cope with the rapid development in this field. Many modern methods have been proposed recently, based on various technologies such as computer vision, fingerprinting, and machine learning. This paper introduces an overview of IOT and discusses its fundamental elements; it mainly focuses on identification of IOT which is considered the main part that the IOT systems rely on. The paper discusses the existing identification methods for IOT. Moreover, it provides a review of the modern identification methods proposed in recent literature.
