With the rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, smart home systems are getting more and more popular in our daily life. Besides providing convenient functionality and tangible benefits, smart home systems also expose users to security risks. To enhance the functionality and the security, machine learning algorithms play an important role in a smart home ecosystem, e.g., ensuring biotechnology-based authentication and authorization, anomalous detection, etc. On the other side, attackers also treat learning algorithms as a tool, as well as a target, to exploit the security vulnerabilities in smart home systems. In this paper, we unify the system architectures suggested by the mainstream service providers, e.g., Samsung, Google, Apple, etc. Based on our proposed overall smart home system model, we investigate the application of learning algorithms in smart home IoT system security. Our study includes two angles. First, we discussed the functionality and security enhancing methods based on learning mechanisms; second, we described the security threats exposed by employing learning techniques. We also explored the potential solutions that may address the aforementioned security problems.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary: 58F15, 58F17; Secondary: 53C35.
