Development of an IPSec VPN on a proposed smart home system

This work presents the VPN network security method applied to a simulated design of a Smart Home Network using IPSec protocol. The developed system allows a user on a remote, trusted network to access and control home devices in the same way that the homeowner does. The connection channel between that remote network and the smart home network must be secured, and the data transferred must be maintained and cannot be altered. This can be achieved using the VPN technology and IPSec, which is considered one of the most powerful protocols used with this technology. The developed design, with its security technology, can be applied in real networks and can only benefit from using the Internet in a secure way.
