Abstract
In this paper, we conduct a first measurement study to examine the provisioning process used by smart home IoT devices. Through reverse-engineering techniques, we capture, decrypt and analyze the message exchanges among IoT devices, the vendor-specific mobile app and vendor cloud services, and investigate their security and privacy implications. Furthermore, we carry out a series of experiments and demonstrate the feasibility of developing an open, edge-centric framework for device isolation and device/network/cloud segregation, with an eye towards automatically setting up, managing and securing IoT devices.
