Abstract

The threat of attacks on Home Automation Systems (HASs) is increasing. Research has shown that passive adversaries can detect user habits and interactions. Despite encryption and other measures becoming a standard, traffic analysis remains an unsolved problem. In this paper, we show that existing solutions from different research areas cannot be applied to this scenario. We establish a model for traffic analysis in Home Automation Systems which allows the analysis and comparison of attacks and countermeasures. We also take a look at legal aspects, highlighting problem areas and recent developments.
