While IoT-oriented smart homes can revise how inhabitants interact with the domestic environment, each well-defined piece of technology necessitates precise network performance and distinct levels of security based on the sensitivity of the controlled system and the information it handles. This editorial presents a review of the papers accepted in the special issue. The issue has focused at obtaining high-quality papers aimed at solving well-known technical problems and challenges typical of IoT-oriented smart homes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19194173","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,27]],"date-time":"2019-09-27T03:03:15Z","timestamp":1569553395000},"page":"4173","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Special Issue \u201cInternet of Things for Smart Homes\u201d"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0604-3445","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ilsun","family":"You","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information Security Engineering, Soonchunhyang University, 22 Soonchunhyangro, Shinchangmyeon, Asan-si 31538, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5798-398X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giovanni","family":"Pau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, Kore University of Enna, 94100 Enna, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1048-7380","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Valerio Mario","family":"Salerno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, Kore University of Enna, 94100 Enna, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7470-6506","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vishal","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information Security Engineering, Soonchunhyang University, 22 Soonchunhyangro, Shinchangmyeon, Asan-si 31538, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Froiz-Maguez, I., Ferna\u00a1ndez-Caramas, T.M., Fraga-Lamas, P., and Castedo, L.
