Introduction

"In the next century, planet earth will don an electronic skin. It will use the Internet as
a scaffold to support and transmit its sensations."- Neil Gross, 1999
In a recent study, the researchers have predicted that the Internet will double in size
every 5.32 years
By 2020, 20 billion devices will be in use in the world

Concept

The Internet of Things is an emerging global Internet-based technical architecture

facilitating the exchange of goods in a global supply-chain network.
Rapid advancement in technology in just 21 years
IPv6 communication
Protocol for M2M communication
Smart sensors
Cloud storage
Sophisticated algorithms via machine learning

Aims & Objectives

To assimilate the concept of IoT

To dejargonise the terms of IoT
To familiarize with devices and technologies that can be employed to realize IoT
To gauge the potential of IoT, focusing on the 'home automation and security' space
To analyze the threats and challenges associated with it

Applications

Smart cities
Smart environment
Smart metering
Security and emergencies
Retail
Industrial control
Home automation
Health

Area of focus

Home automation & security

Smart Appliances
Everyday processes: automated
Temperature, humidity and quality controlled environment
Security from thefts and attacks
Safety for all family members

Home automation & Security

A smart home can be defined as a residence equipped with computing and

information technology which anticipates and responds to the need of its occupants,
working to promote their comfort, convenience, security and entertainment through
the management of technology within the home and connections to the world beyond.

Home automation & security

Internet of things can be used to bolster home security by using devices that monitor
unexpected movement, thermal radiations and unwarranted entry.

Examples of Smart Home Devices

Challenges and Threats

Connectivity challenges (Bluetooth, WiFi, ZigBee)

Security concerns (thingbots)
Data theft
Data generation & storage
Energy challenges

Conclusion

We must expand smart- object design beyond hardware and software to include
interaction design as well as social aspects.
Building applications with RFID data in the IOT is challenging, not just because TREs
provide only low-level information but also because the metadata associated with
tags, antennas, and events must be personalized and carefully controlled to create a
safe, meaningful user experience.
With the emergence of an Internet of things, new regulatory approaches to ensure its
privacy and security become necessary.
