A Smart Living Framework: Towards Analyzing Security in Smart Rooms

Abstract

Indoor environments play a main role on people living, work, social life, and health. Especially, recent statistics show that people who are often most susceptible to the adverse health effects tend to spend more time indoors. To overcome these issues, modern rooms are well equipped with different kind of connected objects (IoT) in order to facilitate the life of inhabitants and to manage better the indoor environment by automatically controlling the indoors problems (humidity, temperature, noise, light..) with respect to the experts recommendations and inhabitants hopes. So, the quality of indoor living depends mainly on the environments properties, their precise measurements through IoT, and how safely manage and control them. In this context, we propose a smart living framework covering a global architecture of smart rooms and their related components (sensors, actuator, server and also a management system for a secure communication network respecting the existing safety and security standards. Further, we present the appropriate semantics for each part of the framework in the form of state machines. Further, we ensure the functional correctness of the proposed framework by implementing the developed state machines in the validation and verification tool Uppaal, where it gives us a satisfactory result for different scenarios.
