The dramatic advancments on communication and networking technologies have led to the emergence of Internet-of-Things (IoT). IoT technology has opened the door for various applications. In particular, the home automation was one of the common applications that took the advantage of IoT. Several research efforts have addressed the home automation system using IoT covering wide range of functionalities. One of the concerning tasks is providing a secure system that can give alarms for suspicious activities within the house. This paper presents a secure house system based on IoT where several activities are being sensed and detected. Specifically, gas, humidity, body temperature and motion have been considered within the sensing based on two main types of micro-controller including Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Consequentially, an Android prototype has bene developed in order to give an interactive interface for warning the house owner regarding any suscpicious activities. Results of simulation demonstrated the efficancy of the proposed system

Access control mechanisms define the level of access to the resources among specified users. It distinguishes the users as authorized or unauthorized based on appropriate policies. Several traditional and hybrid access control models have been proposed in previous researches over the last few decades. In this study, we provide a detailed survey of access control models and compare the traditional and hybrid access control models based on their access control criteria. This survey focuses on the growing literature of access control models and summarizes it through comparative analysis, identifying limitations and illustrating the advantages of both traditional and hybrid models. This study will help the researchers to get a deep understanding of the traditional and hybrid access control models.
