Abstract
The rapid expansion in the use of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices in smart homes has introduced numerous security challenges, primarily due to their diverse architectures, lack of standardized protocols, and differing security implementations. These challenges make IoT devices particularly vulnerable to security and privacy attacks. The introduction of the Matter IoT standard represents a significant shift in the architecture of the smart home ecosystem, prompting important security questions to be raised regarding the adoption of a unified multi-vendor protocol. While adopting a single protocol can reduce the attack surface and enhance scrutiny across devices, it also raises the risk of widespread security breaches if a single vulnerability is exploited. This research identifies a potential threat to home security by demonstrating viable security attacks on Matter smart home devices. Specifically, the research explores how DoS flooding attacks are capable of selectively incapacitating Matter devices, such as security cameras, door locks, and sensors.
