Technological Heterogeneity and Path Diversity in Smart Home Resilience: A Simulation Approach
Amir Modarresi, John Symons · Procedia Computer Science · 2020
IoT has increased our vulnerability to technological failures and has expanded the available attack surface for our adversaries. We are concerned in this paper to understand how to increase system-level resilience, specifically in smart homes in light of increasing technological heterogeneity and path diversity and the increasing likelihood that security measures will be circumvented. Our approach involves simulating and modeling the interaction of diverse smart home technologies in the context of their relationship to the core internet. We show how technological diversity can be incorporated into system design in ways that can increase resilience.
