This paper presents IntuiSec, a framework for intuitive user interaction with smart home security using mobile devices. The design approach of IntuiSec is to introduce a level of indirection between the user-level intent and the system-level security infrastructure. This layer of indirection, implemented by a collection of distributed middleware and user-level tools, exposes only concepts and real-world metaphors that are intuitive to non-expert users and translates their intent to the necessary underlying security settings. The IntuiSec framework presents the user with intuitive steps for setting up a secure home network, establishing trusted relationships between devices, and granting temporal, selective access for both home occupants and visitors to devices within the smart home.
