论文摘要
物联网(物联网)越来越多地存在于许多家庭住宅中,但是目前尚不清楚家庭如何理解使用此类设备的网络安全威胁和风险,以及他们如何对自己进行这些主题进行教育。使用对英国25个家庭的553家父母的调查,我们发现家庭认为家庭IOT设备在威胁方面没有明显差异,而不是更传统的家用计算机,并且认为通过消费者保护法规会大大减轻的主要风险。结果,父母专注于教学谨慎使用设备以延长设备的使用寿命,使家人面临额外的安全风险,并为孩子们对安全行为进行了不正确的安全行为。这是当前的风险,也是未来的风险,因为在学校没有教会儿童有关物联网和适当的网络安全管理。我们继续建议制造商和政府必须采取步骤,或适当的受信任机构,以改善与使用家庭IoT设备有关的成人和儿童的网络安全知识和行为。
The Internet of Things (IoT) is increasingly present in many family homes, yet it is unclear precisely how well families understand the cyber security threats and risks of using such devices, and how possible it is for them to educate themselves on these topics. Using a survey of 553 parents and interviews with 25 families in the UK, we find that families do not consider home IoT devices to be significantly different in terms of threats than more traditional home computers, and believe the major risks to be largely mitigated through consumer protection regulation. As a result, parents focus on teaching being careful with devices to prolong device life use, exposing their families to additional security risks and modeling incorrect security behaviors to their children. This is a risk for the present and also one for the future, as children are not taught about the IoT, and appropriate cyber security management of such devices, at school. We go on to suggest that steps must be taken by manufacturers and governments or appropriate trusted institutions to improve the cyber security knowledge and behaviors of both adults and children in relation to the use of home IoT devices.
