nowadays, smart home is considered one of the rather prominent applications of the Internet of Things, integrating high-levels of efficiency, home security, energy & cost saving to everyone's life. Despite all the benefits this technology provides, privacy and security are highly concerning issues that require more considerations. IoT-A reference architecture was established to evaluate current sources and protocols, ensuring the compliance of things and protocols, and providing a comprehensive solution for different applications of IoT. This paper was performed to provide a general framework for improving security at all levels of design, implementation, and application of equipment and protocols using the IoT-A reference architecture by addressing security challenges in the Internet of Things and smart homes. This paper employs the term Security Framework to refer to a method for applying all technologies, procedures, software, and other components to provide security in smart homes. This paper has been searched for all vulnerabilities and threats of the reference architecture. In this paper, a model has been proposed to improve reference architecture to meet all security requirements. Considering the theoretical evaluations performed in this paper, the proposed framework, which was created by adding two components of threat and vulnerability management and context management while making some alterations to the authorization component, satisfies an acceptable level of the security requirements of the smart home and enhances the privacy of the IoT-based smart home.
