Securitization of Smart Home Network Using Dynamic Authentication

Abstract

Smart home networks today span from technological advances that introduced highly networked devices of high density to applications which are more vulnerable due to its increasingly invasive nature to personal space and data. Such networks are becoming susceptible to multiple types of attacks that are seen today with a high number of third-party framework vendors in increasing risk of malicious attack. In such scenarios, dynamic- or context-aware authentication may provide a reinforced measure that takes into account environmental changes or behavioral changes in the network to enable the administrator in the decision-making process. The following work intends to explore a methodology in the incorporation of context-based processing that attaches the context-based filtering intelligence deep within the IoT network at the data processing center.
