Abstract:
The increasing data traffic network is directly proportional to devices connected to the network. Visible Light Communication (VLC) systems such as Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) are not only promising solutions to overcome the limitations of Radio Frequency (RF), but will become a trend of wireless communication technology in the near future, especially indoor building solutions. VLC is inevitable from security challenges which is one of the main problems in communication systems even though the nature of the light itself cannot penetrate walls or enclosed spaces. This paper discusses the security protocol in the VLC system and describes its development especially for the indoor mechanism system. The paper also predicts the business market which will have the highest sector potential to implement the VLC system in the next few years. In conclusion, indoor buildings such as offices, malls and smart homes are the sectors that are most ready to adapt to the VLC system in the near future.
