Securing Our Future Homes: Smart Home Security Issues and Solutions
The Internet of Things, commonly known as IoT, is a new technology transforming businesses, individualsâ daily lives and the operation of entire countries. With more and more devices becoming equipped with IoT technology, smart homes are becoming increasingly popular. The components that make up a smart home are at risk for different types of attacks; therefore, security engineers are developing solutions to current problems and are predicting future types of attacks. This paper will analyze IoT smart home components, explain current security risks, and suggest possible solutions. According to âWhat is a Smart Homeâ (n.d.), a smart home is a home that always operates in consideration of security, energy, efficiency and convenience, whether anyone is home or not
Privacy and Transparency in Blockchain-based Smart Grid Operations
In the past few years, blockchain technology has emerged in numerous smart grid applications,
enabling the construction of systems without the need for a trusted third party. Blockchain
offers transparency, traceability, and accountability, which lets various energy management system
functionalities be executed through smart contracts, such as monitoring, consumption analysis,
and intelligent energy adaptation. Nevertheless, revealing sensitive energy consumption information
could render users vulnerable to digital and physical assaults. This paper presents a novel method
for achieving a dual balance between privacy and transparency, as well as accountability and
verifiability. This equilibrium requires the incorporation of cryptographic tools like Secure Mul-
tiparty Computation and Verifiable Secret Sharing within the distributed components of a multi-
channel blockchain and its associated smart contracts. We corroborate the suggested architecture
throughout the entire process of a Demand Response scenario, from the collection of energy data
to the ultimate reward. To address our proposalâs constraints, we present countermeasures against
accidental crashes and Byzantine behavior while ensuring that the solution remains appropriate
for low-performance IoT devices
A Survey on Security and Privacy of 5G Technologies: Potential Solutions, Recent Advancements, and Future Directions
Security has become the primary concern in many telecommunications industries today as risks can have high consequences. Especially, as the core and enable technologies will be associated with 5G network, the confidential information will move at all layers in future wireless systems. Several incidents revealed that the hazard encountered by an infected wireless network, not only affects the security and privacy concerns, but also impedes the complex dynamics of the communications ecosystem. Consequently, the complexity and strength of security attacks have increased in the recent past making the detection or prevention of sabotage a global challenge. From the security and privacy perspectives, this paper presents a comprehensive detail on the core and enabling technologies, which are used to build the 5G security model; network softwarization security, PHY (Physical) layer security and 5G privacy concerns, among others. Additionally, the paper includes discussion on security monitoring and management of 5G networks. This paper also evaluates the related security measures and standards of core 5G technologies by resorting to different standardization bodies and provide a brief overview of 5G standardization security forces. Furthermore, the key projects of international significance, in line with the security concerns of 5G and beyond are also presented. Finally, a future directions and open challenges section has included to encourage future research.European CommissionNational Research Tomsk Polytechnic UniversityUpdate citation details during checkdate report - A
