Smart-Phones Attacking Smart-Homes
Proceedings of the 9th ACM Conference on Security & Privacy in Wireless and Mobile Networks, 2016 The explosion in Internet-connected household devices, such as light-bulbs, smoke-alarms, power-switches, and webcams, is creating new vectors for attacking "smart-homes" at an unprecedented scale. Common perception is that smart-home IoT devices are protected from Internet attacks by the perimeter security offered by home routers.
