Plan: Understanding how Smart Home Security, Devices and Appliances work
Answer preview
This phase examines the evolution of Smart home technology away from the fundamental convenience functioning such as automatic door openers and controlled lights to deliver physical benefits. The planning phase, therefore, will involve several meetings with smart home application developers, home user sample and network security experts. The meetings will focus on understanding how smart home devices and appliances function. For example, smart meters used to ensure energy efficiency; water flow devices, IP-enabled mobile devices and cameras, and door lock provide significant control of smart home security (Au, Zhou, Huang, & Lie, 2012). The meetings with home network experts will address how attackers can access and control smart home devices to implicate physical or financial harm to users.
