Data is used to observe, manage and transmit information to other devices through the Internet. This enables certain actions to be performed remotely in order to acheive certain conditions. The majority of IoT smart home automation devices use applications (apps) or voice-based instructions. There are therefore a number of management and technical concerns that need to be mapped properly in order to use these applications effectively. Monitoring, energy management and transformation processes require a prominent and well-built control and management strategy. In addition, the data controls and management come from a wide range of resources, which further complicate the procedure for data protection, in order to create secure real time networks. As we move towards significant deployment of smart home IoT infrastructure and applications, smart home IoT network security systems have been recognized as a major concern. Therefore, the implications of network interconnection and security need to be a top priority. This chapter discusses the most significant IoT network challenges and their implications for smart home security. The challenges for ...
