Abstract

This research project is to improve privacy in smart homes by proposing combined encryption approach that comprises AES-128 to encrypt the payload data of IoT sensors and a honey word system to create deceptive data for additional privacy. The project is based on the facts that the number of smart home devices is growing, and, as a result of it, personal data is generated and transmitted insecurely. The research objectives are as follows; One is to ensure that the data collected by the sensors is protected using a robust encryption method and secondly to ensure there is a honey word system that confusing the potential attackers. AES-128 encryption is used along with a honey word system as a part of securing smart home data. With that said, the research does not propose more performing solutions as it would require a much more extensive study of the subject along with the ethical, legal, and regulatory frameworks generating the discrepancy between the comfort of Smart Home technologies and the need for privacy protection.
