Abstract

This article is about developing a security assessment system for smart homes that use Internet of Things technology.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a nascent paradigm focused on the relationship of things or devices to each other and users. Over time, most connections on the Internet of Things go from «people interact with things» to «things interact with things». This technology is expected to be an important milestone in the development of smart homes to bring convenience and efficiency to our lives and our homes. But the introduction of this IoT technology in our homes will be important for the safety of these technologies. Connecting all smart objects inside the house to the Internet and to each other leads to new security and privacy issues, such as the confidentiality, authenticity, and integrity of the data that is perceived and exchanged.
These technologies are very vulnerable to various security attacks that make a smart home based on IoT unsafe to live in, so security risks need to be assessed to assess the situation of smart homes. For any technology to be successful and widely used, it must gain the trust of users, ensuring sufficient security and confidentiality. As in all sectors, maintaining security will be the most important challenge to overcome. As homes become more computerized and filled with devices, potential computer security attacks and their impact on residents need to be investigated.
This paper uses a methodology that focuses mainly on information assets and examines containers (technical, physical and human) and conducts security risk assessments to highlight various security vulnerabilities in the smart home based on the Internet of Things, the consequences and proposing measures against identified problems. that meet most safety requirements. Finally, it offers recommendations for users.

Keywords: Internet of Things; house automation; smart house; security risk assessment; safety recommendations; security threats; security conterarguments.
