Smart Homes: Analysis of IoT Security Indicators

Smart homes often face security problems caused by internal or external factors that can bring different problems both in terms of IoT components and at the overall level. In the paper, a prototype is defined to analyze several indicators to measure the extent to which the residents' requirements are met. At the level of scientific literature, the analysis is done from the overall point of view, the interest here being for the IoT components taken individually to see the impact in the daily life of the people who live in that house. The problem of the interdependence of the indicators and how they are managed individually both manually and by remote control is a point of interest in the analysis carried out, here both the technical part and the business part and adaptation to the requirements and the trend of the future come into discussion. Based on the current situation and trends, some guiding steps were identified regarding the appropriate use of the analyzed indicators. The security of the smart home can suffer changes if a new element is inadequately integrated into the system circuit, affecting both the other sensors, but also allowing attacks on the personal space of the people who live inside or who have sensitive data that can be accessed once with access to the system.
