Cyber Issues in Smart Home Appliances of IoT

Cyber issues in smart home appliances of IoT

Research Paper1
Abstract
Smart home devices have gather huge attention of people in few last decades because using these
devices people increased their quality of life as well as expanded their comfort zone. Most of
these devices are handled using micro controllers and smart phones. Smart phone is used for
controlling and monitoring the home operations by utilizing the wireless communication method.
In this research study, the research explored the idea of smart home appliances with the IoT
technology and the vulnerable threats related to these devices are also discussed in this study.
The researchers embedded intelligence in actuators and sensors. The cloud technology is also
considered in the study. The main theme of this research study is to identify the vulnerable
threats in using the smart home appliances. The study comprises of three parts where the first
part is used to introduce the research subject, second part is used to analyze the research subject
and the last section of the study is used to conclude the research study.

Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 Introduction
As people are getting interconnected with each other by using various technologies, their
sensitive information are getting more vulnerable to multiple cyber security threats. The huge
prevalence of the internet connected appliances forced people to become vulnerable to data
breaches as because of multiple cyber-attacks. The modern smart technology allows people to
control devices from any location. Smart appliances are mainly concerned with the internet of
things (IoT). The latest modern technology increased the risk level for the people. This disallow
the individuals to trust on the appliances due the threat of few cyber-attacks (Weber and Studer
2016). People are always fear of the data breach while using the smart appliances in their home.
The security lag in IoT generates a misbalance among the security and the technology. The
demands of the current technology has increased in quantity which disallow numerous IoT
researchers to consider development in the usage of the technology. Thus, the complete security
layout failed to meet the meet the demands of million peoples (Diro and Chilamkurti 2018).
These system deal with huge data which comprises of numerous sensitive information of people.
These attacks can led to numerous consequences in the physical, economic and financial areas of
an individual. The security framework mainly aims in determining the future security ideas for
ensuring that that the devices are appropriately used as well as the motive of using such devices
is fulfilled (Rabai et al. 2013). With the increasing security threats the IoT security solutions
required to be developed for responding threats actively and fight against such vulnerable data
breaches.

1.2 Background of the Study
Cyberspace globally has become a threatened platform for multiple users. It is due to the
rapid technological development. This also allow cyberspace to catch the attention of individuals
globally. The technological advancement in the IoT domain also allowed the cybercriminals to
easily phish the data of the users. The weaker technologies used in smart home appliances can
easily be hacked and the information can easily be misused by outsiders. The cyberspace experts
developed various defensive strategies for mitigating the risks involved in the smart home
appliances. These strategies are developed for helping people to easily and freely handle their
smart home appliances (Komninos, Philippou and Pitsillides 2014). Their strategies disallow the
attackers to trigger their attack on the home appliances. The technological experts yet faced
difficulties to develop and implemented their strategies in the market due to the rapid technical
advancements.
IoT was started with M2M version where M2M was described as the communication
between appliances by the use a communication channel. The channels were either wired or
wireless. Then, the wireless communication practice evolved in a gigantic manner which helped
numerous users to communicate easily and effectively. In the telephony system, the data were
exchanged with the help of various end points. In recent days, M2M practice is carried out in
multiple areas like alarm panels addn industrial sector (Bangali and Shaligram 2013). Then,
M2M practice was developed as IoT. IoT is covering multiple areas of the environment which
allow the experts to expand the usages of IoT for their sole purpose as well to serve the society.
The IoT technology is transforming the whole world in its smart phase where in future people
can easily handle and manage their operations from any location.
