To investigate the impact of security attacks on energy
consumption, an experimental test-bed was developed. The
topology of the model consists of three users: (i) Bob, (ii) Alice
and (iii) Eve. Bob and Alice are interconnected each with
a smart device. The life-logging procedure is applied to their
communication in which they share data, personal preferences
and habits. The transmitted information may be
sensitive, like security codes or personal data and secrets.
Under this communication model, an attacker (Eve) appears to
have as main target to break any available security wall and
steal users’ personal data or destroy the communication.
