IoT Network Security in Smart Homes

Internet of Things (IoT) smart home automation is gradually becoming an attractive aspect of everyday life around the world. This chapter discusses the most significant IoT network challenges and their implications for smart home security. The challenges for the networks are presented, with reference to existing practices and available standards and initiatives, along with the relevant global standards. Network security continues to be a substantial concern within the smart home community. In order to combat the network attacks, a number of security improvement strategies have been created and distributed within the Internet community. A number of solutions have been proposed that recognize and block the related threats at the network level and can contribute to the security of IoT‐based smart homes. However, there is still a big gap to be bridged to offer seamless network security across all usable devices in IoT‐based smart homes.
