Measuring IoT Security Issues and Control Home Lighting System by Android Application Using Arduino Uno and HC-05 Bluetooth Module

Abstract

Today’s lot of domains have adopted the IoT-based applications in the home, agriculture, medical, industries, and so on where we find that the use of electronic devices becomes very common. McKinsey Global Institute predicted that the IoT covered more than $11.1 trillion market share by 2025. By looking at this prediction, we have to focus on the security of IoT applications. In this paper, first we will check security measures and then suggest IoT-based application that controls home lighting system using Arduino Uno microcontroller, breadboard, HC-05 Bluetooth module that will be operated by Android application. Smart phone has Bluetooth in-build so it will become very cheap, efficient, and preferable for the use. This paper gives the idea of how to control home lighting system and enable home lighting using a smart phone application. This system has five main components: an Arduino Uno as a microcontroller, breadboard, HC-05 Bluetooth module for transferring signal, n-channel DC 5 V relay for connection with lighting system, and Android application in smart phone for user interface.
