QUANTUM KEY DISTRIBUTION IN SMART HOME SYSTEMS

Abstract

In recent years, with the increase in the widespread use of the internet, the usage areas and the number of users have increased rapidly. Technological advances and efforts to make life easier bring innovation and transformation in many sectors. One of these innovative approaches is the use of Internet of Things (IoT) in home systems. The concept of IoT refers to the ability of objects to communicate with each other over the internet. Smart home systems stand out as systems where different devices come together work in interaction and can be controlled remotely. While this communication and integration offers various advantages, it also brings security risks. Ensuring security in IoT systems basically includes objectives such as confidentiality, integrity, and authentication. In this study, how the key used in the encryption of data transmitted between the gateway and the cloud in smart home systems can be strengthened with the B92 Quantum Key Distribution protocol is implemented through a scenario. The effect of the Quantum Key Distribution protocol in providing privacy and its advantages against man-in-the-middle attacks are emphasized in this study.

Öz

Son yıllarda, internetin yaygın kullanımının artmasıyla birlikte kullanım alanları ve kullanıcı sayısı hızla artış göstermektedir. Teknolojik ilerlemeler ve yaşamı kolaylaştırma amacıyla yapılan çalışmalar, birçok sektörde yenilik ve dönüşümü beraberinde getirmektedir. Bu yenilikçi yaklaşımlardan biri de ev sistemlerinde Nesnelerin İnterneti (IoT) kullanımıdır. IoT kavramı, nesnelerin internet üzerinden birbirleriyle iletişim kurabilme yeteneğini ifade eder. Akıllı ev sistemleri, farklı cihazların bir araya gelerek etkileşim içinde çalıştığı ve uzaktan kontrol edilebildiği sistemler olarak öne çıkar. Bu iletişim ve entegrasyon çeşitli avantajlar sunarken, aynı zamanda güvenlik risklerini de beraberinde getirmektedir. IoT sistemlerinde güvenlik sağlanması temelde gizlilik, bütünlük ve kimlik doğrulama gibi hedefleri içerir. Bu çalışmada, akıllı ev sistemlerinde gateway ile bulut arasında iletilen verilerin şifrelenmesinde kullanılan anahtarın B92 Kuantum Anahtar Dağıtım protokolü ile nasıl güçlendirilebileceği bir senaryo üzerinden gerçekleştirilmektedir. Kuantum Anahtar Dağıtım protokolünün gizlilik sağlamadaki etkisi ve ortadaki adam saldırılarına karşı sunduğu avantajlar bu çalışmada vurgulanmaktadır.
