Hardware and embedded security in the context of internet of things

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is the interconnection of a large number of resource-constrained devices such as sensors, actuators, and nodes that generate large volumes of data which are then processed into useful actions in areas such as home and building automation, intelligent transportation and connected vehicles, industrial automation, smart healthcare, smart cities, and others. Important challenges remain to fulfill the IoT vision including data provenance and integrity, trust management, identity management, and privacy. We describe how embedded and hardware security approaches can be the basis to address these security challenges.
