Project Goals and Description:
The number of smart home IoT (Internet of Things) devices has
been growing fast in recent years. Along with the great benefits
brought by smart home devices, new threats have appeared. Two
major threats to smart home users are the compromise of their privacy
and the compromise of their IoT devices. In this project, we design user studies,
new algorithms, and new systems to protect the security and privacy
of smart home users.
