Review of Security and Privacy-Based IoT Smart Home Access Control Devices

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) represents a network framework comprising identifiable entities that interact through the Internet. One of its applications is the smart home, where household devices can be remotely monitored and controlled. This has led to an increased demand for reliable security solutions in IoT systems. Security presents a significant challenge in IoT smart home devices and must be carefully considered. Unauthorized access to a smart home system, facilitated by means such as jamming or replay attacks, could pose risks by manipulating sensors and controls, potentially allowing unauthorized entry. This review paper concentrates specifically on the security and privacy aspects of IoT smart home access control devices. It begins with a concise overview of smart home security and privacy, then delves into various techniques within the smart home system taxonomy, such as authentication, access control, blockchain, and cryptography-based methods. Furthermore, the paper compares the advantages and disadvantages of these techniques. It also examines various types of attacks on smart home IoT access control systems and evaluates risk factors such as methodologies, attack frequency, severity, probability, and ranking. Finally, the paper discusses challenges, applications, conclusions, and future directions.
