Question1: Discuss the layered architecture for a home heating system in which, before
leaving the office homeowner could instruct the heating system to ensure the required
Temperature at his home arrival
Answer: A home heating system that can be controlled remotely typically involves several
layers:

1. Perception Layer: This includes sensors and actuators. Sensors measure the current
temperature, while actuators control the heating system.
2. Network Layer: This layer handles communication between the sensors/actuators and the
control system. It often uses Wi-Fi, Zigbee, or other wireless protocols.
3. Processing Layer: This layer processes the data from the sensors and makes decisions. It
can be a local controller or a cloud-based system.
4. Application Layer: This is the user interface, such as a mobile app, where the homeowner
can set the desired temperature and schedule.
5. Business Layer: This layer includes the business logic, such as energy-saving algorithms
and user preferences.

When the homeowner instructs the system from the office, the command travels through
these layers to adjust the home temperature accordingly.

Question2: Discuss several cyber-attacks that make IoT Devices vulnerable and can be
used to exploit them.
Answer: IoT devices are vulnerable to several types of cyber-attacks:

1. DDoS Attacks: Distributed Denial of Service attacks can overwhelm IoT devices, making
them unavailable.
2. Man-in-the-Middle Attacks: Attackers intercept communication between IoT devices and
their controllers.
3. Phishing Attacks: Users are tricked into providing sensitive information that can be used
to access IoT devices.
4. Firmware Attacks: Malicious firmware updates can compromise the device’s
functionality.
5. Default Password Exploits: Many IoT devices come with default passwords that are easy to guess.

Mitigation Strategies
• Regular firmware updates
• Strong authentication (e.g., two-factor)
• Data encryption
• Network segmentation
• Continuous monitoring
Question3: With the help of a diagram explain the functional layers and capabilities of
an IOT application for home automation.

Answer:
Functional Layers of an IoT Application for Home Automation
1. Device Layer: This includes all the physical devices such as sensors (temperature,
humidity, motion) and actuators (smart bulbs, thermostats, locks) that interact with the
environment.

2. Connectivity Layer: This layer handles the communication between devices and the
central system. It includes various communication protocols like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee,
and cellular networks.

3. Edge Computing Layer: This layer processes data locally on the edge devices or gateways
to reduce latency and bandwidth usage. It can perform tasks like data filtering,
aggregation, and preliminary analysis.

4. Cloud Layer: This layer provides centralized data processing, storage, and management.
It enables advanced analytics, machine learning, and long-term data storage.

5. Application Layer: This is the user interface where users interact with the system. It
includes mobile apps, web dashboards, and voice assistants that allow users to monitor
and control their home automation devices.
