Systematic review on risk assessment and protective measures for automation systems with Z-Wave technology

Resumen

Z-Wave technology is widely used in smart home and building automation systems, especially in IoT equipment. However, it presents several security vulnerabilities that could jeopardize the integrity and privacy entrusted to us by users. Therefore, this systematic literature review (SLR) explores the main security risks associated with Z-Wave, as well as the protection measures proposed in the literature to mitigate these vulnerabilities. The review included 30 studies on Z-Wave implementation, security comparisons with other similar technologies (such as Zigbee and Wi-Fi), and evaluations of protection methods such as encryption, intrusion detection, and anonymous authentication. The findings highlight the need to strengthen Z-Wave security by developing advanced protection measures and constantly monitoring the network for intrusions in real time.
