The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging paradigm focusing on the connection of devices, objects, or “things” to each other, to the Internet, and to users. IoT technology is anticipated to become an essential requirement in the development of smart homes, as it offers convenience and efficiency to home residents so that they can achieve better quality of life. Application of the IoT model to smart homes, by connecting objects to the Internet, poses new security and privacy challenges in terms of the confidentiality, authenticity, and integrity of the data sensed, collected, and exchanged by the IoT objects. These challenges make smart homes extremely vulnerable to different types of security attacks, resulting in IoT-based smart homes being insecure. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the possible security risks to develop a complete picture of the security status of smart homes. This article applies the operationally critical threat, asset, and vulnerability evaluation (OCTAVE) methodology, known as OCTAVE Allegro, to assess the security risks of smart homes. The OCTAVE Allegro method focuses on information assets and considers different information containers such as databases, physical papers, and humans. The key goals of this study are to highlight the various security vulnerabilities of IoT-based smart homes, to present the risks on home inhabitants, and to propose approaches to mitigating the identified risks. The research findings can be used as a foundation for improving the security requirements of IoT-based smart homes.

“…Moreover, the concern for network threats is not considered in the proposed solution. In [25], the authors proposed a novel, light-weight, efficient key exchange, and authentication protocol suite called the Secure Mobile Sensor Network (SMSN) Authentication Protocol to ensure data confidentiality and validity. In the proposed solution, the mobile sensor node initiates an authentication process and obtained a re-authentication ticket from BS.…”

A Lightweight Secure and Energy-Efficient Fog-Based Routing Protocol for Constraint Sensors Network

et al. 2020

The Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has seen rapid growth in the development of real-time applications due to its ease of management and cost-effective attributes. However, the balance between optimization of network lifetime and load distribution between sensor nodes is a critical matter for the development of energy-efficient routing solutions. Recently, many solutions have been proposed for constraint-based networks using the cloud paradigm. However, they achieve network scalability with the additional cost of routing overheads and network latency. Moreover, the sensors’ data is transmitted towards application users over the uncertain medium, which leads to compromised data security and its integrity. Therefore, this work proposes a light-weight secure and energy-efficient fog-based routing (SEFR) protocol to minimize data latency and increase energy management. It exploits the Quality of Service (QoS) factors and facilitates time-sensitive applications with network edges. Moreover, the proposed protocol protects real-time data based on two levels of cryptographic security primitives. In the first level, a lightweight data confidentiality scheme is proposed between the cluster heads and fog nodes, and in the second level, a high-performance asymmetric encryption scheme is proposed among fog and cloud layers. The analysis of simulation-based experiments has proven the significant outcomes of the proposed protocol compared to existing solutions in terms of routing, security, and network management.

Nowadays, security is one of the main concerns in industry and academia. Complexity and number of attacks increased, which translates in higher vulnerability for end users and companies. Wireless sensors are one of the most vulnerable devices on the market due to their limited hardware and software capabilities. Attackers focus on these devices due to their limitations, with the end goal of compromising the entire workgroup or network. To counter this trend, developers and researchers started to propose different schemes and protocols that increase security. This paper has the goal of presenting a thorough analysis on existing authentication mechanisms in order to gain knowledge on the existing schemes, techniques, implementations and issues. Furthermore, with a thorough study, one can propose future implementations that may apply on different solutions.
