Abstract

A Smart Home essentially is a communication
network that connects smart devices, sensors and actuators
enabling the owner to locally and remotely access, monitor and control them. However, SHs are currently facing increasing challenges due to the underlying home automation systems which are affected by network security issues. This paper presents a SH testbed comprising SH devices that employ the IEEE 802.11 standard protocol for communication.
Comprehensive tests were conducted with an aim to observe and
understand vulnerabilities that exist in smart device networks when they are attacked using different types of attacks such as Eavesdropping, Denial of Service (DoS), and Man-In-TheMiddle (MITM). This paper reports and discusses the findings obtained from these experiments.
