This study conducted empirical analyses to investigate the factors affecting the intention to use smart home services. Based on the previous relevant studies, the characteristics of smart home service were found to influence on the intention to use smart home service, and four variables(ubiquitous connectivity, reliability, context awareness, and security) concerning the service characteristics could be derived. And referring to the technology acceptance model(TAM), the updated TAM, IS success model, and the theory of reasoned action(TRA), three variables such as perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and subjective norm were also likely to affect the intention to use smart home service, and the user innovativeness was inferred to play a role of moderating variable. In order to examine the research model and the hypotheses which could describe the relationship of the above mentioned variables, this study surveyed 447 people who were currently using or would use the smart home services, and then tested the hypotheses for 436 valid responses. The results of hypotheses testing showed that reliability, context awareness, and security have a significant effect on perceived usefulness and on perceived ease of use. However, it was found that ubiquitous connectivity significantly affected perceived usefulness but did not affect perceived ease of use. And perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and subjective norm had significant effect on the intention to use smart home services. Also, user innovativeness as moderating variable was found to significantly influence on the magnitude of the relationship between ubiquitous connectivity and perceived usefulness and on that between reliability and perceived ease of use. This can be interpreted as the findings implying that innovative smart home-service users are likely to feel the smart home-services more useful than ordinary users when the degree of ubiquitous connectivity is higher, and are likely to perceive the use of smart home-services to be easier than ordinary ones when the degree of reliability is higher.

This study considers the problems and social changes caused by the increase of single-person households in the elderly, and examines SmartHome services for them. We chose trust, security risk, self efficacy, social influence, perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness as factors that affect attitude. The cognitive level of these factors and the difference betweene gender and education level of these factors were analyzed. The analysis showed that the elderly were fully aware of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. In addition, the elderly women are more socially influenced than the elderly men in the use of SmartHome services, and there was a significant difference in self efficacy and social influence by education level. This study will provide a new research perspective for subsequent studies and can be utilized as an important underlying study.

With the development of IoT technology, various cloud computing-based services such as smart cars, smart healthcare, smart homes, and smart farms are expanding. With the advent of a new environment, various problems continue to occur, such as the possibility of exposure of important information such as personal information or company secrets, financial damage cases due to hacking, and human casualties due to malicious attack techniques. In this paper, we propose a message communication protocol for smart home-based secure communication and user data protection. As a detailed process, secure device registration, message authentication protocol, and renewal protocol were newly designed in the smart home environment. By referring to the security requirements related to the smart home service, the stability of the representative attack technique was verified, and as a result of performing a comparative analysis of the performance, the efficiency of about 50% in the communication aspect and 25% in the signature verification aspect was confirmed.

The use of smart home appliances and Internet of Things (IoT) devices is growing, enabling new interactions and automation in the home. This technology relies heavily on mobile services which leaves it vulnerable to the increasing threat of hacking, identity theft, information leakage, serious infringement of personal privacy, abnormal access, and erroneous operation. Confirming or proving such security breaches have occurred is also currently insufficient. Furthermore, due to the restricted nature of IoT devices, such as their specifications and operating environments, it is difficult to provide the same level of internet security as personal computers. Therefore, to increase the security on smart home IoT devices, attention is needed on (1) preventing hacking and user authority theft; (2) disabling abnormal manipulation; and (3) strengthening audit records for device operation. In response to this, we present a plan to build a cloud security authentication platform which features security authentication management functionality between mobile terminals and IoT devices.

As smart home network services such as home CCTV, outdoor control of home appliances, home security and disaster prevention services become popular, there appear various affiliated products including smart home gateway and smart speaker. Since those services are generally developed on the vendors' individual hardware and software platforms, it is not much expected for them to interwork well among different architecture and communication methods. In this paper, we propose a new home network service system running on an open source platform to address such issues. We implemented a home network system using OpenWRT-based wireless router(or access point) and Zigbee communication technology. In the proposed system, a wireless router replaces a commercial home gateway and small control units implemented with Arduino control electronic devices and sensors in home. Several service scenarios are also implemented to verify the operability of the proposed system.
