Resumo(s)
The Internet today is mainly human-centric and many of the connected devices are well
known technology (e.g. desktops, laptops, mobile phones). The Internet of Things (IoT)
changes this situation by introducing a wide variety of new objects to the traditional
Internet, so as to improve the daily lives of people and business, by enhancing new services
and triggering innovations into these environments. However, the security solutions
built around previous connected technologies is not completely su cient for these new
connected objects. This is due to their miniaturization they have many constraints in
terms of computational power, memory, storage, and battery lifetime, which introduces
new challenges in terms of implementing security solutions. Apart from the establishment
of secure communications, the data collected from these devices also raises some
privacy threats; how these data are processed, stored and shared, is still not clear. As
more objects become Internet-enabled the threat will only increase if no measures are
put in place during the early stages of the Internet of Things. This work was developed
to identify potential security and privacy vulnerabilities associated with the current and
future Internet of Things. This thesis starts by describing the concept of the Internet of
Things followed by a description of the current state of security approaches for the IoT
products. The technologies that will enable the IoT growth and the security challenges,
requirements, threats, and countermeasures are thus summarized in this thesis. At the
end an experimental assessment of the security implementation of a device present in the
current market was performed and a more robust proposal for the security and privacy
of the device was developed. The work was then followed by the implementation of an
environment that will help organize and manage the heterogeneous IoT devices that will
be part of a smart home. Finally some conclusions and directions for future work are
presented.
