Abstract
with the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the usage of low-powered devices (sensors and effectors), a large number of people are using IoT systems in their homes and businesses to have more control over their technology. However, a key challenge of IoT systems is data protection in case the IoT device is lost, stolen, or used by one of the owner's friends or family members. The problem studied here is how to protect the access to data of an IoT system. To solve the problem, an attribute-based access control (ABAC) mechanism is applied to give the system the ability to apply policies to detect any unauthorized entry. Finally, a prototype was built to test the proposed solution. The evaluation plan was applied on the proposed solution to test the performance of the system.Keywords
