Abstract
Smart grids and smart homes improve energy management by coupling communication capabilities to their devices. Due to computational constraints of these devices, employment of simplified communication protocols is necessary. In this paper, we investigate the use of communication protocols based on CoAP and 6LoWPAN in smart home environments. Specifically, we analyze the vulnerabilities a smart home employing CoAP and 6LoWPAN may be susceptible to. We also present a performance analysis of the use of these protocols for ensuring secure communicationsin smart homes.File in questo prodotto:
