Recently, the smart farm development using a PC and smart phone to manag the farm for improving competitiveness is in progress. In the smart farm, by using the various ICT technology including RFID, Wi-Fi, ZigBee, Wireless LAN, and etc., the growing environment of the crop and animals can be managed with the remote. By using the network including not only the TCP/IP based wired network but also ZigBee, Wireless LAN, and etc., each of the devices installed in the smart farm transmits the growing environment data to the server. So, smart farms have information and network security vulnerability. Therefore, we propose the method that analyzes the security vulnerability which can begenerated in the smart farm and user authentication method.

Because sensor networks use wireless communication, they are vulnerable to attacks which are more difficult launch in the wired domain. Many wired networks benefit from their inherent physical security properties. It is unlikely that an adversary will dig up the Internet backbone and splice into the line. However, wireless communications are difficult to protect; they are by nature a broadcast medium. In a broadcast medium, adversaries can easily eavesdrop on, intercept, inject, and alter transmitted data. In addition, adversaries are not restricted to using sensor network hardware. We have analyzed the IEEE 802.15.4, ZigBee specification which includes a number of security provisions and options. In this paper, we highlight places where USN security considerations and home network attack scenarios.

Low Rate WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Network) designed for low power and low cost wireless communication is an important technology to realize ubiquitous environment. IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee Alliance recommend the SKKE (Symmetric-Key Key Establishment) protocol for key establishment and management. The SKKE algorithm has security weakness such as the absence of authentication process or electric signature in key generation and exchange when devices join the role of coordinators. In this paper, we propose new key establishment and security algorithm based on public key encryption to solve low rate WPAN security problems. Also, to improve PLC AMR system's weaknesses in communication reliability and security, we propose a new AMR system model based on IEEE 802.15.4 and we apply our security algorithm to AMR profile for security enhancement.

In this paper we designed and implemented a wireless communication circuit which can control the remote devices integrating RFID and ZigBee. This system unifies transmit part and receive part. And this system recognizes RFID tag data, then the recognized information is controlled by MCU, and transmitted to a remote device through the ZigBee. This is operated on TinyOS. If this system is applied to a entrance security system, it can permit/deny one's entrance as well as control the personal computer or other electronic devices. Our experiment shows the result of the recognized data transmission is very different according to a opened playground and a closed place. The data transmission time is stable in the indoor and the data transmission distance is long in the outdoor. We anticipate that our system be applied the various office oriented domains by connecting to the Wired LAN or the WLAN of IEEE 802.11x category.

Due to the remarkable improvement of ICT, with the popularization of mobile devices and every sector of society connected by networks, an era, in which peer to peer, peer to thing, thing to thing can be connected to one another everywhere, has begun. As all the electronic devices are connected to Internet, they have become more intellectualized and automated, making convergence and process of information through the connection of the devices possible to provide a lot better services. However, those devices communicate mutually to send information and they are exposed to various security threats. Therefore, this study analyzes ZigBee, CoAP, MQTT, XMPP, which are communication-related technology of IoT, draws security threats they have, and suggests requirements that components of IoT should have. Plus, it examines real cases about security threats in IoT, and suggests a countermeasure so as to contribute to establishment of a basis for IoT to be used much more safely in the future.

Home security has become the prime concern for everyone in present scenario. In this work an attempt has been made to develop a home security system which is accessible, affordable and yet effective.The proposed system is based on 'Remote Embedded Control System' (RECS) which works both on the web and gsm platform for authentication and monitoring. This system is therefore cost effective as it relies on existing network infrastructure. As PCA is most popular and efficient algorithm for face recognition, it has been usedin this work. Next to it an interface has been developed for communication purpose in the embedded security system through the ZigBee module. Based on this embedded system, automated control of door movement has been implemented through electromagnetic door lock technology. This helps the users to monitor the real-time activities through web services/SMS. The web service consists of either web browser command or e-mail provision. The system establishes the communication between the system and authenticated user. The e-mail received by the system from the authorized person will monitor and control the real-time operation and door lock. The entire control system is reinforced using ARM1176JZF-S microcontroller and tested for actual use in the home environment. The result shows the experimental verification of the proposed system.

Wireless sensor networks that are easy to deploy and install are ideal for building a system that monitors the condition of the equipment in a factory environment where wiring is difficult. The ZigBee has characteristics of low price and low power compared with other wireless communication protocols and is suitable for a monitoring system requiring a plurality of nodes. ZigBee communication requires encryption security between devices because all protocol layers are based on OTM trusted by each other. In the communication between nodes, node authentication must be guaranteed and exposure of confidential information managed by each node should be minimized. The facilities of the factory are regular and stationary in distribution location. In order to protect the information gathered from the sensor in the factory environment and the actuator control information connected to the sensor node, we propose a cryptosystem based on the two - dimensional grid - based key distribution method similar to the distribution environment of the facility.

Ubiquitous sensor network (USN) based on ZigBee communication protocol has been used in various application fields, such as home-network, intelligent building and machine, logistics, environmental monitoring, military field, security field and etc. The ZigBee is targeted at radio-frequency application that require a low data rate, long battery life and secure network. Especially, the USN system can be applied efficiently to building-indoor where the complex geometry is adopted. In this study, all 90 points of railway cabin indoor were monitored for temperature and humidity using USN technology. All sensors were pre/post-calibrated and the temperature/humidity change were analyzed in a railway cabin in real-time. The results would be useful to develop the cabin heating, ventilating and air conditing (HVAC) system to meet all passengers' thermal comfort regardless of their seat position.
