Abstract :
New communications technology offers numerous benefits, but it also opens home automation to many security threats. To protect against these threats within the limited resources of a typical home automation system, we have developed a family of products based on Honeywell´s Global Home Server (GHS), a remote Web site that provides secure Internet access and other services to client installations. A network security system such as GHS can leverage limited resources to provide confidentiality, authentication, authorization and integrity for remote monitoring and control of home automation devices
