Vulnerabilities and Attacks in a Smart Buildings Scenario

Smart Buildings are an interconnected set of sensors, motors, controllers and different devices aiming to control the main functionalities of modern buildings. The evolution of these systems (from electronic and mechanical to complex elements) led to the exposition of smart buildings to new risks and threats. Moreover, the management of buildings by using wireless technologies (e.g, Bluetooth), present in the clear majority of the cases, is still complicated. In this paper, vulnerabilities and possible attacks to smart buildings are reported and described. This review could be a starting point to develop a method to simplify the management of buildings by using wireless technology.
