Abstract
Internet of things is the trending direction when it comes to designing smart living environment. One of the popular applications of Internet of things is the smart home system. A smart home system usually consists of various types of connected sensors, actuators, appliances and a controller. The controller analyzes the data reported by the sensors and sends out messages to electric appliances and other sensors to ask them to behave accordingly. There are a lot of smart home designs proposed in the literature to make the systems smarter and more comfortable. However, little work has considered the security and privacy issues in smart home systems. In this paper, we analyze the differences of security and privacy issues that lie in the smart home systems, smart grid, and wireless sensor networks. Further, we propose our own solutions that achieves privacy preservation during the communications between end sensors and appliances and the controller.
