Cyber-Security of Embedded IoTs in Smart Homes: Challenges, Requirements, Countermeasures, and Trends

Abstract

Connected computers and sensors transmit data across the Internet to solve problems and generate new services (IoT). Smart homes use IoT, for example. Smart home technology can monitor temperature, detect smoke, regulate lighting automatically, and install smart locks. It also poses additional security and privacy problems, such as accessing user data through surveillance equipment or false fire alarms. Smart homes are vulnerable to numerous sorts of assaults. This survey emphasizes IoT. We discuss IoT's design, objects, and standards. We also address the tiered Internet of Things framework and smart home security concerns. In this article, researchers examine IoT-based smart home difficulties and offer solutions.

Enabling Remote Elderly Care: Design and Implementation of a Smart Energy Data System with Activity Recognition

“… Strong encryption: use WPA3 encryption for the Wi-Fi network. This provides strong encryption protocols to the data transmitted [ 59 ]. Secure password: set a strong and unique password on all devices and the Wi-Fi network.…”

“… Service set identifier (SSID) hiding: disable broadcasting the network name so that it is not visible to devices scanning for Wi-Fi networks. This adds an extra layer of security by making it less obvious that the network exists [ 59 ]. MAC address filtering: enable MAC address filtering on the gateway to allow only specific devices with approved MAC addresses to connect to the network [ 59 ].…”

Implementation of Port Knocking with Telegram Notifications to Protect Against Scanner Vulnerabilities

“…A router is a network device that connects users to the internet [13,14]. The completeness of a router's features does not rule out the possibility that someone seeking personal gain can infiltrate the network through open ports on the service used [15,16].…”
