As the world is moving towards Internet of Things, smart home is now rapidly becoming a reality. Home appliances and devices are interconnected, i.e., home area network, via proprietary or standard TCP/IP protocols allowing for better management and monitoring. Nevertheless, as with any form of network, smart home is also prone to security threats and vulnerabilities. This paper aims at presenting the importance of security in smart home environment. Herein, we will discuss (a) the concepts of smart home environment, (b) various smart home communication mechanisms, (c) security challenges and concerns in smart home environment, (d) security threats in smart home environment, (e) current security measures to encounter such security attacks and finally, conclusion and future work.

Demand response provides many benefits in financial and operational aspects for the power user, load management unit and the grid operator. In this paper, we have extended the traditional specification in distribution system automation IEC 61968 to support further demand response service. There are some basic modules and packets have been defined to update traditional metering device, and also the newly added controlled object have been involved. At last, we have take time of use price to illustrate the performance of a wide area demand system by integrating a new controlling algorithm and the results show that it can significantly improve the performance of electricity devices in a home area network.
