IoT / SmartHome activity monitoring (networking, data mining, security)

Internet of things devices are used more and more often, particularly in the context of smart homes, to monitor various things and help in the daily life. Although the technology of IoT brings a lot of new insights and advantages, theses devices can pose threats if not properly secured. This is the reason why smart home security is a really important topic, nothing is ever completely secured. This thesis aims to demonstrate what kind of information can be retrieved from passively monitoring a smart home, and what an attacker could deduct from it. There are a few questions that we wanted to address : Can we detect if there is any activity inside the house? Can we distinguish the different sensors that are present? Can we detect the patterns that the inhabitants of the house follow? Several experiments and analyses will be conducted to answer these questions.
