Safety and security of remote monitoring and control of intelligent home environments
Intelligent home environments are one of the
major application areas of pervasive computing. Safety and
security are two most important issues in the remote monitoring
and control of intelligent home environments. This article takes
safety and security into consideration together and proposes a
phone-out-only policy for ensuring security and virtual home
environments for safety. A remote monitoring and control
system for a security camera is used to illustrate the new
methodologies for safety and security. By using the
demonstration system people are able to easily monitor and
control a security camera, central heating, microwave oven and
washer from anywhere by using mobile phones. Our system
distinguishes from the existing DTI (Department of Trade and
Industry in the UK) next wave technologies and a few of
on-going EU projects in the ways of dealing with safety and
security and its simplicity. Remote monitoring and control of
intelligent home environments can be of great benefits to the
working families and holiday makers and has a great
commercial potential

Intelligent home automation security system based on novel logical sensing and behaviour prediction
The thesis, Intelligent Home Automation Security System Based on Novel Logical Sensing and Behavior Prediction, was designed to enhance authentication, authorization and security in smart home devices and services. The work proposes a three prong defensive strategy each of which are analyzed and evaluated separately to drastically improve security. The Device Fingerprinting techniques proposed, not only improves the existing approaches but also identifies the physical device accessing the home cybernetic and mechatronic systems using device specific and browser specific parameters. The Logical Sensing process analyses home inhabitant actions from a logical stand point and develops sophisticated and novel sensing techniques to identify intrusion attempts to a home’s physical and cyber space. Novel Behavior prediction methodology utilizes Bayesian networks to learn normal user behavior which is later compared to distinguish and identify suspicious user behaviors in the home in a timely manner. The logical sensing, behavior prediction and device fingerprinting techniques proposed were successfully tested, evaluated and verified in an actual home cyber physical system. The algorithms and techniques proposed in the thesis can be easily modified and adapted into many practical applications in Industrial Internet of Things, Industry 4.0 and cyber-physical systems.Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2017.Electrical, Electronic and Computer EngineeringPhDUnrestricte
