Ασφάλεια και προστασία ιδιωτικότητας οικιακών συσκευών που λειτουργούν σε περιβάλλον ΔτΠ

Abstract

Nowadays, Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology that is steadily moving towards universal acceptance. Terms like smart home are no longer a science fiction scenario but a reality. Home appliances and their applications have now evolved to connect to the home network and communicate with the Internet. For this reason, they are known as smart home devices, which can communicate with each other or with humans, analyzing and exchanging information using standard communication protocols to connect to the home network and the Internet. The use of IoT technology in the context of the smart home leads to new security and privacy challenges, as a huge amount of data is transmitted from the devices within the IoT environment. Therefore, IoT-enabled smart homes have high security requirements, as the home environment contains important and private information. Although, modern technologies can offer great opportunities to users, at the same time they present a serious of risks. An IoT-enabled smart home seems to be very vulnerable to cyber-attacks. In case that a smart home or a smart home devise is compromised, the attacker has the ability to invade the user's privacy, steal personal information and monitor everything that happens in the home. For this reason, taking appropriate protection measures is more than necessary. The purpose of this paper is to study the security and privacy protection of IoT- enabled smart home devices. For this reason, first, there will be a presentation of smart home devices and their communication architecture in the field of a smart home. Next, an analysis will be made of the security and privacy issues that may arise as well as the cyber-attacks they may undergo. Finally, examples of attacks on IoT-enabled smart home devices will be given and a reference to the security solutions and solutions presented in the literature will be given.
