The rapid development and wide application of the Internet of Things (IoT) and sensor technologies have produced good opportunities for the development of IoT-based smart home systems (SHSs). However, during the rapid market expansion of SHSs, security challenges associated with SHSs have become a primary concern of people because they are so closely related to people's daily lives. These security problems may damage information assets and pose a serious threat to people's health and life. This study investigates security issues in SHSs and provides a comprehensive overview of research to date. In this review, after analyzing the existing definition and concept of SHSs proposed by authoritative encyclopedias and academic literature, we propose a more accurate, elaborated definition of SHSs, analyze their architecture, extract six natural and contextual features, and summarize spears (cyber-attack means) vs. shields (countermeasures) in detail in the context of SHSs. Then, the security frameworks and evaluation technologies in SHSs are discussed. Different scenarios for technology integration and the practical research results in SHSs, such as blockchain, cloud computing, Internet of Vehicles, and AI are presented meticulously. After that, two special issues related to security are discussed. We believe that future research on SHS security should focus on four aspects: the unification of architecture, resource limitation, fragmentation, and code and firmware security. In addition, research on SHS security should be given priority over its commercialization process.

“…It is an attempt to flood the server with internet traffic to shut down the service either completely or partially. The experiments conducted by Huraj et al [12] show how an attacker from outside can disturb the normal operation of smart home devices when they become victim of a DDoS attack. Gómez et al [7] in their research work expose the vulnerability of ZigBee devices for wormhole attacks and packet injection.…”

“…We found that certain smart locks such as Nest X Yale locks are much more secure than August smart locks. Other possible attacks include a DDoS HTTP [12] attack on the gateway which blocks its internet connectivity, thus restricting the homeowner from using commands which involve an internet connection.…”

“…However, studies show that certain product configurations are not always secure. For instance, Huraj et al [12], in their research on Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, found out that when Fibaro Home Center 3 is being flooded with HTTP GET requests, the connection between Amazon Alexa mobile app and the wall plug sensor gets disrupted. This shows that there exist security loopholes when trying to integrate smart home devices from different vendors.…”

Graph-Based Simulation for Cyber-Physical Attacks on Smart Buildings

As buildings evolve towards the envisioned smart building paradigm, smart buildings' cybersecurity issues and physical security issues are mingling. Although research studies have been conducted to detect and prevent physical (or cyber) intrusions to smart building systems (SBS), it is still unknown (1) how one type of intrusion facilitates the other, and (2) how such synergic attacks compromise the security protection of whole systems. To investigate both research questions, the author proposes a graph-based testbed to simulate cyber-physical attacks on smart buildings. The testbed models both cyber and physical accesses of a smart building in an integrated graph, and simulates diverse cyber-physical attacks to assess their synergic impacts on the building and its systems. In this thesis, the author presents the testbed design and the developed prototype, SHSIM. An experiment is conducted to simulate attacks on multiple smart home designs and to demonstrate the functions and feasibility of the proposed simulation system.

“…In the past, the electronic devices that facilitated various needs were independent, and other isolated systems functioned to meet the required objectives. Since systems such as smart homes [ 1 ] are now required to provide the user’s needs remotely, they are prone to cyber attacks, namely, phishing attacks [ 2 ], man-in-the-middle attacks, and DDoS attacks [ 3 ]. Such IoT devices have scales for generating data, from small-scale applications with a few bytes every second to those with several kilobytes every second, depending upon the addressed application.…”

Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks are significant threats to the cyber world because of their potential to quickly bring down victims. Memcached vulnerabilities have been targeted by attackers using DDoS amplification attacks. GitHub and Arbor Networks were the victims of Memcached DDoS attacks with 1.3 Tbps and 1.8 Tbps attack strengths, respectively. The bandwidth amplification factor of nearly 50,000 makes Memcached the deadliest DDoS attack vector to date. In recent times, fellow researchers have made specific efforts to analyze and evaluate Memcached vulnerabilities; however, the solutions provided for security are based on best practices by users and service providers. This study is the first attempt at modifying the architecture of Memcached servers in the context of improving security against DDoS attacks. This study discusses the Memcached protocol, the vulnerabilities associated with it, the future challenges for different IoT applications associated with caches, and the solutions for detecting Memcached DDoS attacks. The proposed solution is a novel identification-pattern mechanism using a threshold scheme for detecting volume-based DDoS attacks. In the undertaken study, the solution acts as a pre-emptive measure for detecting DDoS attacks while maintaining low latency and high throughput.
