Abstract
Abstract. Smart environments provide many benefits to the users including comfort, convenience, energy efficiency, safety, automation, and service quality. The Internet of Things (IoT) has developed to become one of the widely used technologies in smart environments. Many security attacks and threats are generated by security flaws in IoT-based systems and devices, which may affect smart environments applications. As a result, security is one of the most important issues in any smart area or environment based on the IoT model. This paper presents an overview of smart environments based on IoT technology and highlights the main security issues and countermeasures in the four layers of smart environment IoT architecture. It also reviews some of the current solutions that ensure the security of information in smart environments applications.
Highlights
The smart environment is a term developed from the idea of Ubiquitous computing or physical word that contains numerous sensors, controllers, actuators and other computational elements that interact with each other to make people's lives more comfortable and smarter, facilitate communication and improve performance and quality of services
As one of the objectives of the smart environment is the improvement of quality of human life in terms of comfort and efficiency, the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm has recently grown into technology for building and developing smart areas (Elrawy et al, 2018), which means that it becomes the key ingredient for the development of many smart environments such as smart cities, smart homes, smart campus, smart health etc, by automating things to communicate in a network to realize many services (Ikrissi and Mazri, 2020b)
The purpose of this paper is to present various IoT security attacks in smart environments, as well as some solutions based on the Internet of Things architecture, which is divided into four layers: (1) the physical layer, (2) the network layer, (3) the platform layer, and (4) the application layer (Figure 1)
Summary
The smart environment is a term developed from the idea of Ubiquitous computing or physical word that contains numerous sensors, controllers, actuators and other computational elements that interact with each other to make people's lives more comfortable and smarter, facilitate communication and improve performance and quality of services. IoT technology, communication, and computation resources are used in smart cities to improve the quality of life and services available to citizens and urban environments It can control objects in real-time and provide citizens with intelligent information in areas such as smart traffic management, smart transportation, traffic systems, and smart agriculture, etc (Al‐ Turjman et al, 2019).
