Securing Smart Homes: Challenges and Solutions in Iot Cybersecurity

Authors- Nandhini PK, Professor Dr. Febin Prakash

Abstract- The emphasis these days is increasingly on utilizing intelligent loT systems coupled with smart houses tomodernize and ensure the level of living. These contain a few security holes that could open them up to outside assaults. People are more comfortable using smart devices and switching from a mechanical to an automated way of life when these problems are anticipated. Nowadays, there is interest in testing and identifying ways to stop different kinds of assaults. A variety of programs are available to check if a home system is secure. This study examines smart home applications with an emphasis on low-power wireless technology security issues[1].In order to solve problems and provide new services, sensors and connected computers send data via the Internet (IoT). For instance, IoT is used in smart houses. Smart locks may be installed; temperature monitoring, smoke detection, and automatic lighting control are all possible with smart home technology. Additional security and privacy issues it raises include the possibility of user data being accessed by surveillance devices or phony fire alarms. Numerous attacks of different kinds can target smart homes. IoT is emphasized in this survey. The design, objects, and standards of the IoT are discussed.. Researchers look at IoT- based smart home challenges and provide answers in this article.[2] In everyday life for humans exhibits the use of (IoT). From wearable wrist watches to autopilot automobiles, the need for IoT is expanding at an incredible pace. Considerable progress in smart home technology has also been made to enhance living standards .However, security and privacy of IoT devices in smart home networks have become a major concern due to data transmission between smart devices and the Internet. An adversary may break the security of smart homes using a variety of tactics, including malware, boot phase assaults, sniffer attacks, and node capture operations. The security breach hinders the provision of smart home services and negatively affects the privacy of the renters.[3].
