Background
Smart home is concept which existed for several years, however it gained attention in last
few years due to growth of Internet of Things (IoT). Various solutions and technologies are
amalgamated by smart home for providing better experience of living. It consists of home
appliances, communication systems and control and lighting system in order for allowing
seamless approach to sensors, appliances and devices for communicating with one another as
well as with user (Ghirardello et al. 45). Additionally, this allows also for better management and
monitoring of such entities and home itself, which ensures cost saving and sustainability in long
run. Few of such concepts as well as technologies are used in healthcare and all other
environment.
Overview of Related Work
In this section we will review existing research work related to network
traffic monitoring in smart homes.
Bako Ali [5] explained the measures that must be taken to make smart
homes safe. This is done by carefully assessing security risks i.e. detecting
the underlying problems related, and used the octave Allegro method and
identified 10 important electronic as well as physical assets. The result was
15 existing security risks of smart homes being identified with
countermeasures to mitigate them.
Authors in [6] explained new attack on privacy by identifying specific
types of devices and monitoring its traffic. The attack evaluation showed
