IEEE EMBS/Computer Joint Chapters and ComSoc/SP - Austin, Final Presentation in 2018 on “Improving Security in the Internet of Things (IoT) through Bio-Inspired Approaches”
IEEE Austin ComSoc & SP and EMBS & Computer Joint Chapters
IEEE CTS Austin ComSoc & Signal Processing Joint Chapter and EMBS & Computer Joint chapter invite you to come and celebrate with us our final session of the year:
Topic: “Improving Security in the Internet of Things (IoT) through Bio-Inspired Approaches”
Presenter:
Heena Rathore, Ph.D., Data Scientist and Program Manager at Hiller Measurements.
Abstract:
As massive amounts of Internet of Things (IoT) connected devices are approaching to change our lives, security in these devices is crucial. The security threats from traditional Internet are also applicable to such IoT devices as these devices are connected to the network. In fact, some attacks are easier on IoT devices due to the limited computing and memory resources of IoT devices. These threats can be introduced in IoT devices through various means, where the ongoing data transmissions can be tampered with or the devices can be altered to behave in an unpredictable manner.
Biologically inspired solutions, to solve engineering problems, are opening new doors of research opportunities to overcome this challenge. These solutions are more efficient, effective, and economical than the current methods. Biology is offering solutions to engineering problems that were not thought before by the scientists. It's indicative of a growing shift in how humans have evolved in their way to thinking to solve big problems by looking to nature for elegant solutions. The talk will cover biological inspirations and aspects from machine learning and social psychology for improving security in IoT devices.
