ISTeC Distinguished Lecture in conjunction with the Computer Science Department and the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Seminar Series IoT and Trust (25 Issues and Counting Up) Speaker: Jeffrey M. Voas, Computer Scientist, Secure Systems and Applications Group, NIST Contact: Sudipto Ghosh (ghosh@colostate.edu) Abstract:This talk discusses the underlying and
foundational science of IoT and gives the audience a general
understanding of what IoT is. In this work, five core primitives
belonging to most distributed systems are presented. These
primitives form the basic building blocks for a Network of
‘Things’ (NoT) [NIST SP 800 183], including the Internet of
Things (IoT). System primitives allow formalisms, reasoning,
simulations, and reliability and security risk-tradeoffs to be
formulated and argued. These primitives apply well to systems
with large amounts of data, scalability concerns, heterogeneity
concerns, temporal concerns, and elements of unknown pedigree
with possible nefarious intent. The talk ends by suggesting 25
trust issues, that involve everything from 3rd party
certification of 3rd party black-box services and products, to
defective ‘things’, and to deliberate intentions to slow the
flow of data in a IoT-based system.
Bio:Jeffrey Voas is an innovator. He is currently a computer scientist at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Before joining NIST, Voas was an entrepreneur and co-founded Cigital that is now part of Synopsys (Nasdaq: SNPS). He has served as the IEEE Reliability Society President (2003-2005, 2009-2010, 2017-2018), and served as an IEEE Director (2011-2012). Voas co-authored two John Wiley books (Software Assessment: Reliability, Safety, and Testability [1995] and Software Fault Injection: Inoculating Software Against Errors [1998]. Voas received his undergraduate degree in computer engineering from Tulane University (1985), and received his M.S. and Ph.D. in computer science from the College of William and Mary (1986, 1990 respectively). Voas is a Fellow of the IEEE, member of Eta Kappa Nu, Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and member of the Washington
Academy of Sciences (WAS). |
