Securing the Connected Home: Addressing Challenges, Demands, Safeguards, and Emerging Patterns in Embedded IoT Cybersecurity

Information Technology

To improve people's lives and offer new services, sensors and connected gadgets send data over the Internet. To monitor many parameters and improve the quality of life for its residents, smart houses employ multiple interconnected gadgets. Notably, these smart gadgets use many Internet of Things (IoT)s to install smart locks, detect smoke, automatically control lights, and monitor room temperature. However, other security and privacy issues with smart home devices include the ability for surveillance equipment to access user data and the possibility of false fire alarms. Although smart home systems make people's lives easier and maintain their safety within their houses, they are susceptible to several types of attacks. IoT cybersecurity in smart homes is the focus of this survey. The architecture, layers, and standards of IoT will be covered. We will also discuss several threats that target smart home devices, the security issues associated with smart homes, and the tiered Internet of Things framework. Next, various defence strategies against these attacks at various abstraction levels will be presented.
