Cybersecurity for smarthome application

Abstract

Nowadays, home automation (smarthome) has played a evolutional role in the Internet of Things (IoT). One of the widespread technologies apply to the smarthome is ZigBee standard. With the simplicity and ease of use for low-cost, long-living commercial products, ZigBee security needs to be concerned and analyzed to improve for securing the network. Duto the limited resource in computation capability, memory energy. This thesis describes the current applied security measures in ZigBee, pinpoint the weakness of standard security by using KillerBee frameworks tool to audit the ZigBee network and exploit the vulnerabilities. Furthermore, some practical attacks such as network discovery, jamming, eavesdropping, replay attack will be demonstrated to exploit ZigBee security and propose countermeasure solution for each attacks.
