Abstract:
Interconnected communication system facilitating home automation is becoming increasingly popular Internet of Things’ (IoT) domain. One such application is a smart lock. Today, physical locks are being replaced by electro-mechanical ones, with limited network and power capabilities. A physical key is replaced with software that can be operated remotely from a mobile device. Since, these systems widely rely on the wireless network, they are more vulnerable to a security breach. Therefore, development of a network of connected system that ensures reliability and security is fundamental to the field of IoT. Often, securing mechanism requires using complex decision-making algorithms. However, the foundation of a robust system is laid during the design, and development of such a critical embedded system. Thus, it is important to identify, and prioritize the curial system requirements and the steps to engineer them. This paper presents our work that identified and addressed this issue. As part of the research, a proof of concept, of a network of connected devices serving as a secure smart lock, is implemented. It utilizes Message Queuing Telemetry Transportation (MQTT) protocol to enable message transmission between the users and lock. It is light weight, uses less memory on devices and network usage is at par with quality of services that are already available in the market. This paper describes the requirements and design, the technical details of the implementation and the performance aspects of this system.
