This book presents the security and privacy challenges of the smart home following the logic of “terminal device – voice interface – application platform”. For each component, the authors provide answers to the three questions: 1) In the terminal device layer, how to conduct cross-layer privacy breach analysis and provide effective countermeasures; 2) In the voice interface layer, how to design effective and lightweight schemes to defend against voice spoofing; 3) In the application layer, how to design an effective anomaly detection system without breaching the application platform. The authors conduct a thorough analysis of the security threats and challenges in each component of the smart home, review the existing state-of-the-art solutions proposed by other researchers, and elaborate on proposed countermeasures. This book aims to provide both security threats analysis and state-of-the-art countermeasures for the smart home network.
