Security Architecture for Authentication and Authorization in the Intelligent and Ubiquitous Home Network

Abstract

Most people say that home network will become one of the most important things in the future industries and create high profit. Home network will grow to the direction that improves human life more conveniently. In the near future, an intelligent home environment that e diverse home services are provided, there are various devices connected to the internet and people can roam between homes will emerge in the human life. However, due to such a complexity of the home network, it will become more difficult for us to find an appropriate security mechanism for home network. Furthermore, some home devices like home appliances, AV systems and sensors may not be able to process the public key mechanism due to their low computation capability. So we think that an appropriate security mechanism is required for authentication and authorization in the case that devices need to be used within their own home. In this paper, we present the efficient authentication and authorization architecture for intelligent home network. To achieve our goal, we consider the performance of devices, secure multi-home roaming, the efficient security architecture and so forth.
