SUMMARY:A Changing Landscape: Securing The Internet of Things (IoT) - Sanj

DESCRIPTION:First part of this talk will discuss how the community is conv
 erging towards the IoT vision having worked in wireless sensor networking 
 and Machine-2-Machine (M2M) communication. This will follow a general disc
 ussion of security challenges in IoT. Finally I will discuss some results 
 from my ongoing projects on security of bodywork devices and Secure IoT co
 nfiguration management. Wireless bodyworn sensing devices are becoming pop
 ular for fitness\, sports training and personalized healthcare application
 s. Securing the data generated by these devices is essential if they are t
 o be integrated into the current health infrastructure and employed in med
 ical applications. In this talk\, I will discuss a mechanism to secure dat
 a provenance and location proof for these devices by exploiting symmetric 
 spatio-temporal characteristics of the wireless link between two communica
 ting parties. Our solution enables both parties to generate closely matchi
 ng `link' fingerprints\, which uniquely associate a data session with a wi
 reless link such that a third party\, at a later date\, can verify the lin
 ks the data was communicated on. These fingerprints are very hard for an e
 avesdropper to forge\, lightweight compared to traditional provenance mech
 anisms\, and allow for interesting security properties such as accountabil
 ity and non-repudiation. I will present our solution with experiments usin
 g bodyworn devices in scenarios approximating actual device deployment. I 
 will also touch upon other research on secure configuration management of 
 IoT devices over wireless networks.\n\nBio: Professor Sanjay K. Jha is Dir
 ector of the Cybersecurity and Privacy Laboratory (Cyspri) at UNSW. He als
 o heads the Network Systems and Security Group (NetSys) at the School of C
 omputer Science and Engineering at the University of New South Wales. His 
 research activities cover a wide range of topics in networking including N
 etwork and Systems Security\, Wireless Sensor Networks\, Adhoc/Community w
 ireless networks\, Resilience and Multicasting in IP Networks. Sanjay has 
 published over 200 articles in high quality journals and conferences and g
 raduated more than 20 Phd students. He is the principal author of the book
  Engineering Internet QoS and a co-editor of the book Wireless Sensor Netw
 orks: A Systems Perspective. He is an editor of the IEEE Trans. of Secure 
 and Dependable Computing (TDSC) and served as an associate editor of the I
 EEE Transactions on Mobile Computing (TMC) and the ACM Computer Communicat
 ion Review (CCR).\n
