Quality of Security (QoSec) Framework for Internet-of-Things (IoT)
FY 2024-25
Summary
The objective of this CRC program is to enhance the security of emerging Internet-of-Things (IoT) where existing measures do not appropriately address the security and privacy challenges. In the proposed program, the main objective will be to establish a Quality of Security (QoSec) framework for IoT addressing the three dimensions of longevity of data protection, varying privacy sensitivity levels of IoT data, and decentralized identity and credential management. New schemes and protocols will be implemented, following a rigorous design and analysis phase to better respond to the requirements of emerging IoT scenarios and enhance the security and privacy of data.
