The information technology's new revolution is Internet of Things (IoT), where physical world is connected to the internet. IoT applications are diversified such as smart health, smart industry, smart homes and most importantly smart logistics for perishable items conservation. Although IoT devices have revolutionized world but due to their constrained nature they are at the cost of a greater risk of personal data loss, security breaches and misuse. In this research, a review is presented for proposing two state of the art modules i.e. communication model of smart logistics and security of IoT devices in Smart Logistics. As the smart logistics have perishable items i.e. fruits, vegetables, meat, medicine, chemicals, and cosmetics etc. which are sensitive to temperature, humidity and pressure etc. If the sensors monitoring these items have been handled abnormally due to security attacks, it will give huge loss. Therefore, security of smart logistics is of paramount importance in this research. In order to expedite research in this emergent area of IoT, in this research paper a brief review on progress of IoT in smart logistics, and its security has been presented.
