Abstract - Home automation involves automatic control
of household features, activity and appliances. A home with an automatic control system is known as smart home. Automation system helps one’s home to promote security, comfort and convenience. This paper is a survey on home automation by integrating device fingerprinting. This paper explains the importance of accessing modern smart home over the internet and highlights various security issues with it. The work explains the evolution of device fingerprinting approach and moreover, a two stage verification process for smart home, using device fingerprinting and login credentials, which verifies the user devices as well as the user accessing the home over internet.
Objectives of the work is to successfully identify a device accessing the home over the internet using Device Fingerprinting. The second objective is to identify authorized user even when there are changes in location, browser or other browser specific features.
Keywords: Home-automation, Device fingerprinting, Login credential
The third objective is to identify malicious devices, that consisting of fingerprints of those devices that will not be allowed access to home its called blacklist. Finally identify legitimate devices and develop a whitelist consisting of fingerprints of devices that are allowed access to the home. The rest of the paper is organized as follows, Section II discusses the Related Works on device fingerprinting and security issues associated with username and passwords. Section III describes the existing system and Section IV describes the proposed system.
1. INTRODUCTION
2 Literature Survey
Home automation is becoming popular due to its numerous benefits. With the advancement of technology and services, people’s expectations of what a home should do or how the services should be accessed at home has changed a lot during the course of time, and so has the idea of home automation systems arises. If we look at different home automation systems over time, they have always tried to provide efficient and convenient ways for home inhabitants. This could be done when an attacker is within the proximity of the homes internal to access their homes. The change in user expectations, advancement of technology, or change of time, the role of a home automation system has remained the same.
The advancement of technology has contributed to the changing concept of security in modern homes.
A modern Home Automation System must alert and prevent an intrusion attempt in a home. Home Automation based on internet focuses on controlling home electronics devices, whether we are inside or outside home. Home Automation gives an individual the ability to automatically control things around the home.
This paper explains [2] generation of a privacy footprint on the Internet. Foot printing (also known as reconnaissance) is the technique for gathering information about computer systems and the entities they belong to. To get this information, a hacker might use various tools and technologies. This information is very useful to a hacker who is trying to crack a whole system. This approach defines edges between the visible nodes, which are the servers that users directly access, and the hidden nodes, which are the servers that are accessed as a result accessing a visible node. Construct a privacy footprint, which monitors the diffusion of information about a user's
Device fingerprinting is the collection of information which gives the remote computing devices for the purpose of identification. Fingerprints can be used to identify individual users or devices even when cookies are turned off. Š 2017, IRJET
