“…The issue of MAC address tracking and profiling underscores a broader debate about privacy in the digital age, highlighting the need for stronger regulatory frameworks and technology solutions to protect individuals from invasive tracking practices and ensure their right to privacy in increasingly connected environments. MAC address anonymization techniques helps to mitigate the MAC Address tracking, and profiling [172] - [176] as in Table 7 below.…”

The network interface layer of the TCP/IP protocol suite, primarily comprised of the Internet Protocol (IP), serves as the backbone of modern internet communication. With its efficient data delivery, The network interface layer, presents key challenges in terms of performance, security, and privacy. This comprehensive survey delves into these three crucial aspects, analyzing the inherent vulnerabilities, limitations of the interface layer, and provide solutions of the related problems. The performance analysis explores throughput, latency, and bandwidth constraints, along with solutions such as bandwidth allocation and optimization techniques. Vulnerabilities within Network Interface Layer, including denial-of-service attacks and MAC address spoofing, are discussed, along with a review of existing security mechanisms. Privacy flaws are examined, covering MAC address tracking, profiling risks, and anonymization techniques, while also addressing privacy considerations on the Internet of Things. The survey analyzes several case studies providing comparative analysis of the network interface layer protocols, with support of the real world scenarios including performance analysis in high density environment, and security and privacy risks in smart homes networks. The findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the complexities surrounding performance, security, and privacy issues future directions and potential solutions.

“…This evidence-based approach is one way to stress the importance of cybersecurity awareness in smart homes. However, achieving the goal of evidence-based security is just as challenging as providing evidence-based healthcare [44]. Interested researchers can investigate evidence-based effects of punishments and rewards on smart-home users' security practices and behaviors.…”

An Evolutionary Game Theoretic Analysis of Cybersecurity Investment Strategies for Smart-Home Users against Cyberattacks

et al. 2023

In the digital era, smart-home users face growing threats from cyberattacks that threaten their privacy and security. Hence, it is essential for smart-home users to prioritize cybersecurity education and training to secure their homes. Despite this, the high cost of such training often presents a barrier to widespread adoption and accessibility. This study aims to analyze the costs and benefits associated with various cybersecurity investment strategies for smart-home users in the context of cyberattacks. The study utilizes evolutionary game theory to model a game comprised of three populations: smart-home users, stakeholders, and attackers. We derive and analyze the replicator dynamics of this game to determine the evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS). Furthermore, we investigate the impacts of the costs and benefits of cybersecurity investment and cyberattack costs on the ESS. The findings indicate that incurring costs for cybersecurity training is beneficial for smart-home users to protect their homes and families. However, the training costs must be low and affordable for smart-home users in order to ensure their participation and engagement. Additionally, providing rewards for commitment to cybersecurity is crucial in sustaining interest and investment over the long term. To promote cybersecurity awareness and training for smart-home users, governments can incorporate it as a priority in national cybersecurity plans, provide subsidies for training costs, and incentivize good cybersecurity practices.
