Security Evaluation

1. Device Security

Criterion	Value	Proof	Comment
Known hardware tampering	Rare	🔗 Proof	Wall or desk hub with no exposed debug ports. Opening the case is possible but not a normal user action.
Known vulnerabilities	Rare	[1] 🔗 Proof	The published CVE and academic attacks target the IKEA TRADFRI Zigbee ecosystem, not DIRIGERA firmware specifically. They show ecosystem exposure, but no DIRIGERA-specific CVE was found.
Prior attacks	Rare	🔗 Proof	Attacks are research demonstrations on TRADFRI, not reported large-scale field incidents.
Updatability	Very common	🔗 Proof	IKEA commits to security updates for at least three years after purchase and the hub updates automatically through the app.
Category Score	Score: 2 / 3

2. System Security

Criterion	Value	Proof	Comment
Authentication with other systems	Full	🔗 Proof	Pairing with Apple Home, Alexa and Google requires authenticated setup and Zigbee devices use network keys.
Communications	Encrypted with up-to-date encryption	🔗 Proof	Cloud and app traffic uses TLS and Zigbee uses AES-CCM encryption.
Storage	Encrypted with obselete encryption	🔗 Proof	IKEA does not publish details of local configuration and credential encryption, so this is treated as partial rather than proven up-to-date.
Category Score	Score: 2 / 3

3. User Authentication

Criterion	Value	Proof	Comment
Account management	Basic	🔗 Proof	Single IKEA account per home with no documented role-based sub-accounts.
Authentication	Basic	🔗 Proof	Account login plus local pairing. Mandatory 2FA is not documented.
Brute-force protection	Basic	🔗 Proof	IKEA account has standard recovery controls, but no device-specific failed-login limit is published.
Event logging	Partial logging	🔗 Proof	The app shows device and automation activity, but no administrator-access audit log is documented.
Passwords	Require change after setup	🔗 Proof	No factory default password for the hub; the user sets the IKEA account password.
