Security of Future Smart Homes . Cyber - Physical Threats Identification Perspectives

The paper is discussing security threats identification perspectives in modern smart homes modeled as cyber-physical systems that encompass technologies, human factors, their activities and specifics. Generally, the modeling process is performed with the help of Entity-Relationship representation, combined with experts’ knowledge in an own ad-hoc software environment. The obtained results give a possibility for building a scenario context and further more detailed threats analysis that could be transformed with the agent-based paradigm into an automated smart homes security system.
