Abstract

A method for implementing security of Internet of Things (IoT) home voice assistants is described. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method for implementing a security policy with a voice assistant includes obtaining, by one or more computing devices, encrypted traffic from a voice assistant; identifying, by the one or more computing devices, a user voice command in the encrypted traffic based at least in part on one or more identifiable attributes of the encrypted traffic; determining, by the one or more computing devices, the user voice command triggers at least one security policy; and upon determining the user voice command triggers the at least one security policy, performing, by the one or more computing devices, a security action that implements the at least one security policy. In some cases, the method may include obtaining an audio recording of the user voice command with a microphone built into the router.
