t is estimated that
there are 59.3 million smart homes

homes are defined
as homes where there are smart
appliances present. These can be
coffee machines, vacuum cleaners,
or voice activated digital assistants
[1]. Smart appliances, or smart
devices, are advertised to consumers for their convenience [2]. They

devices in separate articles, so
users have to be interested in order
to find the information [4]. This division of security and convenience
makes it difficult for the average
user to determine the security of
their device before purchase, but it

security is a concept that societies
instill in their members from childhood. Information and advice about
how to stay safe from strangers, how

advice through all layers of society,
it is not just targeted at children
but at adults as well. Technology is
constantly developing and changing, and as a result, digital security
threats may occur at a much faster
