“…Many home users are concerned about unauthorized access into their home and about privacy of their data. However, it is not a trivial task to provide security in the Smart Home environment because of its heterogeneous nature, dynamic nature, the fact that it is always connected to Internet as well as the open security back doors derived from the household members (Jeong et al, 2006;Herzog et al, 2001;Thomas & Sandhu, 2004;Wang et al, 2005;Haque & Ahamed 2006;Schwiderski-Grosche et al, 2004;He, 2002;Ziegler, Mueller, Schaefer, & Loeser, 2005).…”

“…Smart Home internal network is an extremely heterogeneous network since it consists of a vast range of different devices, applications and communication technologies as we have already described. In a Smart Home, there are many devices such as light switches, white appliances, sensors, cameras, TVs, phones, PCs, and PDAs, with very different capabilities and requirements, and communicate with each other via wired and wireless networks (Wang et al, 2005;Schwiderski-Grosche et al, 2004;Ziegler et al, 2005). Consequently, the deployment of security mechanisms depends on the device capabilities and requirements.…”

This chapter presents the concept of Smart Home, describes the Smart Home networking technologies and discusses the main issues for ensuring security in a Smart Home environment. Nowadays, the integration of current communication and information technologies within the dwelling has led to the emergence of Smart Homes. These technologies facilitate the building of Smart Home environments in which devices and systems can communicate with each other and can be controlled automatically in order to interact with the household members and improve the quality of their life. However, the nature of Smart Home environment, the fact that it is always connected to the outside world via Internet and the open security back doors derived from the household members raise many security concerns. Finally, by reviewing the existing literature regarding Smart Homes and security issues that exist in Smart Home environments, the authors envisage to provide a base to broaden the research in Smart Home security.
