Since its invention, the Internet has changed the world, but above all, it has connected people. With the advent of the Internet of Things, the Internet connects things today much more than people do. A large part of the Internet of Things consists of IoT controlled Smart Home devices. The Internet of Things and the Smart Home have become an increasingly important topic in recent years. The growing popularity of Smart Home devices such as Smart TVs, Smart Door Locks, Smart Light Bulbs, and others is causing a rapid increase in vulnerable areas. In the future, many IoT devices could be just as many targets. The many new and inexperienced manufacturers and the absence of established uniform standards also contribute to the precarious situation. Therefore, new methods are needed to sensitize and detect these threats. In this paper, different existing approaches like those of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) are combined with concepts of this work like the Smart Home Device Life Cycle. In the context of this paper, a universal 31-page question-based test procedure is developed that can be applied to any Smart Home device. Based on this new, innovative security checklist, the communication between device, app, and the manufacturer's servers, as well as the firmware of IoT devices, can be analyzed and documented in detail. In the course of this paper, also a handout in the abbreviated form will be created, which serves the same purpose.

Mp3 is one form of audio file extension that is widely used today. With a variety of uses in a variety of mp3 systems become one of the audio extensions that are commonly found in technology systems of the Internet of Things era. However, with the many uses of the .mp3 file extension, there is a new problem, namely the security of the data itself. From these problems, the author aims to examine the security of the mp3 file by designing cryptographic science-based applications. The cryptographic algorithm used in the application is a combination of the asymmetric RSA 2048 algorithm and symmetric columnic transpositions. RSA 2048 algorithm was chosen because it has a key length in accordance with NIST standards in securing data. By combining the two algorithms, the application system will have the ability to manage mp3 files and encrypt mp3 files with the results of data that cannot be played like mp3 files in general. This application system will be developed by prototype method which is the best method in developing a system with trial and error in algorithm development.

There are at least two complementary levels in the Internet of Things. The first (back) end comes from the big data companies that mine and analyze every log of activities through every device that are attached to the second (front) end, i.e., the many aspects of our lives. However, what keeps this wheel of innovation going forward is actually the front end user. Technology, however improved and innovative, will not fulfill its full potential if users do not adopt and accept it as part of their lives. They must be willing to work with the technology - sold as way to ease and improve lives - for the machine to work and be meaningful. By then the big data companies can gather information about what users want and how they behave to grasp a better understanding and make better decisions about next technology improvement. Users' acceptance and decisions to appropriate shape how big data companies work and innovate. Acceptance and appropriation are the two of the most important areas to explore in the field of IoT optimization in the business world.
