Abstract
One of the fastest and most developing technologies around the globe is the Internet of things (IoT). The research questions in this study focus on the security and privacy challenges for a smart home environment. The geographical region of Saudi Arabia is the selected boundary for the study. The study is focused on finding the problems associated with the Smart Home adaption in Saudi Arabia. However, there is a large phase shift, which is seen towards the increase of threats in smart homes. It is believed that the awareness by humans towards the use of these devices. The level of security offered by the devices, is one of the factors for these threats and privacy issues. This research targets to identify all the facts that can be discarded towards adaption of Smart Homes. It is desirable that a quantitative methodology must be implemented for identification of the population under threat due to IoT devices in smart homes. The views of the users are the major input values to trace the problems. The expected results from this research will provide all the factors which can be improved and provided with proper solution to avoid any security or privacy threats in the Saudi Arabian realm.
Highlights
The Internet of things (IoT) refers to the connection of physical objects that are created with the help of sensors and connected to a local area network
The third part focuses on the security and privacy issues facing the smart home environment and consumers driven from the concerns that are discussed in section two of this paper
Given the fact that the risk factor has been clearly identified, has this helped in enlightening who should carry the responsibility of IoT security? Because of the many different participants in the operation and maintenance of security devices, there is a significant level of uncertainty
Summary
The Internet of things (IoT) refers to the connection of physical objects that are created with the help of sensors and connected to a local area network. The decision-making and the business flow take place with the help of these decisions and the analysis done by the combination of the devices and servers The evolution of such devices started in 1982, when a Coca-Cola vending machine was able to send information about skates inventory and sales over the Internet at Carnegie Mellon University [1]. The integration of all the processes is done with the help of Internet- and sensor-based devices It is really an important improvement, which is required at this point in time. The use of Internet and communications technology to improve the quality of living and to facilitate the citizens is one of the most important aspects towards use of IOT [4]. A promising study conducted by [5] reveals the fact that even the citizens as well as the residents are looking forward to improvements in the quality of the standard of living, with the use of smart homes and IOTbased devices
