“…Note that all process steps require a person with IT-Security expertise, which cooperates with various IT experts from the operations department. A firewall fits into the IT-Security process [14] as shown in Figure 1. In the Information-Security Management phase, the management defines a security policy based on company-wide security objectives.…”

With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), many domestic devices have been equipped with information technology. By connecting IoT devices with each other and with the Internet, Smart Home installations exist that allow the automation of complex household tasks. A popular example is Google Nest that controls cooling, heating and home security. However, Smart Home users are tempted to neglect that such IoT devices pose IT-Security risks. Examples like the Mirai malware have already shown that insecure IoT devices can be used for large-scale network attacks. Thus, it is important to adapt security approaches to Smart Home installations. In this paper, we introduce FANE, our concept for a Firewall AppliaNcE for Smart Home installations. FANE makes a few realistic assumptions on the network segmentation and the communication profile of IoT devices. This allows FANE to learn firewall rules automatically. Our prototypical implementation indicates that FANE can secure a wide range of IoT devices without requiring network-security expertise from the Smart Home user.

Security issues within a networking environment are critical, as attacks or intrusions can come from many different sources. Firewalls are an effective tool used for intrusion detection and provide protection against attacks on a system or network. In the past, protection barriers for a local network have been provided using software solutions. Emerging multi-gigabit networking technology and the high uptake of gigabit Ethernet has rendered these solutions inefficient as it cannot cope with the high data rate. In this paper, a new approach using reconfigurable hardware such as Field Programmable Gate Arrays is proposed to provide the flexibility and performance required for a gigabit firewall. The solution is extendable, has low cost and is capable of scanning multiple protocols. The design approach will allow it to be easily ported over to another family of chips with no or minor modification. Software/Hardware ImplementationsMany firewall systems are based on traditional software solutions that restrict throughput. Processing or inspecting all network traffics using software will 363 Int.
