A Novel Method to Address Security Using Smart Gateway and Dynamic Authentication for Home Networks

Networks within smart home paradigm are advancing at a pace today that spans many areas. There is a leap in density, protocols, types and methods of access of things into a smart home network today. Increasingly varying types of things demand for a monitoring at the administrator level that provides simplistic visibility and power for intelligent decisions. These decisions would be used to analyze and ascertain the security of the network and track unusual behavior. Behavioral tracking of user profiles is explored in this work. The profiles themselves are a footprint of the smart device trying to gain access to the network. The following work intends to explore a methodology in incorporation of context based processing of the incoming packets to the network gateway. On their successful processing, the alerts raised for these anomalies are further analyzed for classification effectiveness and rated against established and relevant classifiers in Weka explorer tool.
