Smart Home Survey on Security and Privacy
This addresses security and privacy concerns for smart home occupants, but it is incremental as it adapts existing methods.
The paper tackles security and privacy issues in smart home networks by classifying services based on spatial and temporal properties and adapting existing security solutions like distance-bounding protocols and TLS to enhance protection.
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.
