Internet of things (IoT) are finding their wide use in various domains. IoT implementation in the Smart home domain is one that is complex as the devices that are being used in such platforms are of different sizes and have different computational capacity. The ability to ensure security is enforced on such devices rests on how proper the authentication processes are executed. It is against this background that this paper is formulated, to give a detailed review of the potential authentication threats and attacks on IoT in the Smart home domain in particular. The main ideas on the potential authentication threats and attacks on IoT in Smart home applications, presented in this paper are largely informed by the detailed literature review of related work in the domain of IoT.
