Smart Home Survey on Security and Privacy

Cryptography and Security 2019-05-07 v2 Networking and Internet Architecture

Abstract

Smart homes are a special use-case of the Internet-of-Things (IoT) paradigm. Security and privacy are two prime concern in smart home networks. A threat-prone smart home can reveal lifestyle and behavior of the occupants, which may be a significant concern. This article shows security requirements and threats to a smart home and focuses on a privacy-preserving security model. We classify smart home services based on the spatial and temporal properties of the underlying device-to-device and owner-to-cloud interaction. We present ways to adapt existing security solutions such as distance-bounding protocols, ISO-KE, SIGMA, TLS, Schnorr, Okamoto Identification Scheme (IS), Pedersen commitment scheme for achieving security and privacy in a cloud-assisted home area network.
