Abstract

In smart home, most things interact with each other and with people at home. One of the benefits of smart home is the ability to control and monitor home, remotely. At the same time, smart home is potentially exposed to security problems and violates privacy of individuals. Considering that objects inside the smart home are constantly collecting private information about people's activities, if someone accesses unauthorized objects indoors, he takes control of objects and gives them data Private individuals have access to or damaged objects or disclosure of information. To prevent this, people who intend to use home-made objects must be authenticated before using it. In this paper, we propose a method for improving individual authentication based on a one-use password using smart card and elliptic curve cryptography algorithm in the smart home system. The results of the evaluations indicate improved interoperability between the user and the gateway to counteract the attacking attack compared to existing methods.
