Smart home hecurity with the use of WSNs on future intelligent cities

Abstract

In recent years, smart cities use some advanced technologies such as Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things for improving the quality of human life by enabling extra security and communication abilities. In a recent survey of ICMA which is the world's leading association of professional city and county managers, ICMA emphasizes the importance of the safety and security benefits of smart cities by categorizing it as one of the five important motivating factors. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed a new security model for smart buildings and smart homes by using a hot topic research area of Cyber-Physical Systems: WSNs. With the use of this system, it is aimed to construct a smart security system by using a minimum number of sensor nodes with the increased coverage rate for smart buildings and homes.
