The Current State of Access Control for Smart Devices in Homes. Ur, B., Jung, J., & Schechter, S. In Proceedings of the Workshop on Home Usable Privacy and Security (HUPS), 2013.
abstract   bibtex   
Although connected devices and smart homes are now marketed to average consumers, little is known about how access-control sys- tems for these devices fare in the real world. In this paper, we conduct three case studies that evaluate the extent to which com- mercial smart devices provide affordances related to access con- trol. In particular, we examine an Internet-connected lighting sys- tem, bathroom scale, and door lock. We find that each device has its own siloed access-control system and that each approach fails to provide seemingly essential affordances. Furthermore, no system fully supports user understanding of access control for the home. We discuss future directions for usable access control in the home.
