Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) is growing rapidly as the number of users using smart “things” for communication has increased. The Internet of Things is the interconnection of individually recognizable smart embedded computing gadgets inside the previous web or Internet foundation. Applications find their way in Health Care, Building Smart cities, Smart Vehicles, Agriculture, and Smart Home. There are huge profits of smart home system like being able to lock/unlock homes from a long distance, get notified in case of smoke/fire in the house and automating gadget maintenance. It is especially beneficial to assist elderly people who are sick and prefer to stay home rather than being in a Hospital. Despite the benefits, these devices bring in lot of security and privacy issues. IoT devices have firmware with less computing power and battery. They mostly do not have antivirus software installed. These devices communicate seemingly large amount of data and they are most vulnerable for security attacks like Denial of Service (DOS), Malware attacks and Ransomware attacks. A lot of research work is taking place to address the security issues in IoT Platform. This paper aims to provide a detailed review of the Methods or Techniques that are proposed to secure smart home systems by providing better design, access control techniques, encryption algorithms, and secure software applications.
