Research Talk: Internet of Things – Privacy, Security, and More
Refreshments served. 

Abstract: There has been an exponential growth of Internet of Things (IoTs) that are being developed and deployed for diverse applications and environments.  By year 2020, more than 50 billion devices are predicted to be connected (via the Internet). The key challenges of such a rapid growth of IoTs are heterogeneity of HW, SW and users; low-power communications and computation; and privacy and security.

This talk will first cover generic aspects, applications and communications of IoTs and then elaborate on security and privacy challenges associated with IoTs. Last, I will briefly discuss our solutions to part of these challenges: BLE-Guard for securing BLE communications, Vauth for securing users’ voice interactions with IoT devices, and PriQA for automating a privacy questions—answers system with chatbot.
