Security in Internet of Things (IoT)

This is a past event.

The Distinguished Cybersecurity Seminar will host a talk by Prasant Mohapatra from the University of California, Davis.

Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) are gaining popularity and will be increasing ubiquitous in near future. They will find use in a vast array of applications ranging from sensing, actuating, monitoring, and decision-making efforts. The expansive usage, while facilitating broad range of applications will bring in challenges related to security. The resource limitations of IoT will complexities to these challenges. In this talk, we will overview these challenges and discuss potential solutions that have in developed in our research efforts. We will discuss about continual authentication approaches to ensure security in sensing elements of IoT system. Detection of threats or malicious behavior and protection of some obvious threats will be the topic of the next issue that we will explore. In addition, we will discuss about the vulnerabilities that can be exploited for various attack scenarios in IoTs. The talk will be concluded with a few remarks regarding the future research directions on IoT security.
