ABSTRACT
Abstract The development and wider adoption of smart home technology has also created an increased requirement for safe and secure smart home environments with guaranteed privacy constraints. We first present a short survey of privacy and security in the more broad smart world context. The main contribution is then to analyze and rank attack vectors or entry points into a smart home system and propose solutions to remedy or diminish the risk of compromised security or privacy. Further, we evaluate the usability impacts resulting from the proposed solutions. The smart home system used for the analysis in this chapter is a digitalSTROM installation, a home-automation solution that is quickly gaining popularity in central Europe. The findings, however, aim to be as solution independent as possible.
