Security Issues with IoT Based Smart Home Devices by Bismit Pratap singh Dilraj Singh Phani Teja Gorrepati Raja Karki Sabin Pandey Umme Haani Vinay Nallapeta Gangarajaiah An assignment submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for ITS -699 course as part of the degree of Masters In Information Technology School of Computing and Information Sciences University of the Cumberlands ITS -699 -01 – Information Technology Project Professor: Dr. Zadok Hakim Due: July 12 , 20 20 Summer 20 20 ii Abstract Internet of Things (IoT) is a system that enables connectivity of the devices over the Internet . Smart home devices are one of the numerous ap plications of IoT for remote monitoring of electrical and electronic appliances. The use of smart home devices has been increasing lately due to the increased energy efficiency and the flexibility to control and operate multiple home appliances, all from o ne place. But, the use of technology has also raised various security and privacy threats. IoT security has become an issue of primary concern to safeguard user's personal information from being misused. A security weakness in IT infrastructure can comprom ise Confidentiality, Integrity , and availability of user data. Confidentiality of user data can be compromised with security issues in IoT . Some of the persistent security issues are lack of authentication, profiling , and easy tracking. This paper discusse s various security issues with IoT based smart home devices, the underlying architecture, significant technologies, and recommends solutions to address the problems identified.
