Scalable and Secure Architecture for Smart Home using Blockchain with data analysis for security risk

Abstract

Smart homes are becoming increasingly popular as they offer convenience, energy efficiency, and security to homeowners. However, there are several risk factors associated with smart homes that should be considered before investing in them. One of the main risk factors is security. Smart homes rely on internet connectivity and connected devices, which may be vulnerable to hacking and cyber-attacks. This can lead to breaches of personal data and privacy, which can have serious consequences for homeowners. As we increase the scale of devices in the smart home homeowners will get a chance to build a highly connected and efficient environment that serves their unique requirements and preferences through steady expansion and customization of their smart home system over time. In this article, we have performed an analysis on the dataset of smart homes that was obtained from Kaggle. The purpose of this analysis is to give all of the readers an idea of which parameters are included in the collapse of security risk. To minimize this risk, it is important to carefully research devices before purchasing them and to ensure that they are compatible with other devices in the home. Power outages can also disrupt the functionality of smart homes, leading to potential security risks or inconvenience. Homeowners should consider investing in backup power sources, such as generators or battery backup systems, to ensure that their smart home remains operational during power outages. We need to make use of ECC in order to protect a person from these dangers. Also, smart houses should include the appropriate safety features. In this investigation, we will focus on bringing to light all of the significant aspects of ECC as well as other characteristics of blockchains that have potential applications in smart homes. After that, we will present the data analysis of the open-source smart home dataset that can be found online. It will give the readers an idea of what are all the possible risks that come with having a smart house.
