Internet of Things Security: Requirements, Attacks on SH-IoT Platform. 2022 IEEE 21st international Ccnference on Sciences and Techniques of Automatic Control and Computer Engineering (STA). :742—747.
Smart building security systems typically consist of sensors and controllers that monitor power operating systems, alarms, camera monitoring, access controls, and many other important information and security systems. These systems are managed and controlled through online platforms. A successful attack on one of these platforms may result in the failure of one or more critical intelligent systems in the building. In this paper, the security requirements in the application layer of any IoT system were discussed, in particular the role of IoT platforms in dealing with the security problems that smart buildings are exposed to and the extent of their strength to reduce the attacks they are exposed to, where an experimental platform was designed to test the presence of security vulnerabilities and This was done by using the Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) tool, according to the OWASP standards and security level assessment, and the importance of this paper comes as a contribution to providing information about the most famous IoT platforms and stimulating work to explore security concerns in IoT-based platforms.

“If security is required”: Engineering and Security Practices for Machine Learning-based IoT Devices. 2022 IEEE/ACM 4th International Workshop on Software Engineering Research and Practices for the IoT (SERP4IoT). :1—8.
The latest generation of IoT systems incorporate machine learning (ML) technologies on edge devices. This introduces new engineering challenges to bring ML onto resource-constrained hardware, and complications for ensuring system security and privacy. Existing research prescribes iterative processes for machine learning enabled IoT products to ease development and increase product success. However, these processes mostly focus on existing practices used in other generic software development areas and are not specialized for the purpose of machine learning or IoT devices. This research seeks to characterize engineering processes and security practices for ML-enabled IoT systems through the lens of the engineering lifecycle. We collected data from practitioners through a survey (N=25) and interviews (N=4). We found that security processes and engineering methods vary by company. Respondents emphasized the engineering cost of security analysis and threat modeling, and trade-offs with business needs. Engineers reduce their security investment if it is not an explicit requirement. The threats of IP theft and reverse engineering were a consistent concern among practitioners when deploying ML for IoT devices. Based on our findings, we recommend further research into understanding engineering cost, compliance, and security trade-offs.

IoT Enhancement with Automated Device Identification for Network Security. 2022 6th International Conference on Trends in Electronics and Informatics (ICOEI). :531—535.
Even as Internet of Things (IoT) network security grows, concerns about the security of IoT devices have arisen. Although a few companies produce IP-connected gadgets for such ranging from small office, their security policies and implementations are often weak. They also require firmware updates or revisions to boost security and reduce vulnerabilities in equipment. A brownfield advance is necessary to verify systems where these helpless devices are present: putting in place basic security mechanisms within the system to render the system powerless possibly. Gadgets should cohabit without threatening their security in the same device. IoT network security has evolved into a platform that can segregate a large number of IoT devices, allowing law enforcement to compel the communication of defenseless devices in order to reduce the damage done by its unlawful transaction. IoT network security appears to be doable in well-known gadget types and can be deployed with minimum transparency.

SecSoC: A Secure System on Chip Architecture for IoT Devices. 2022 IEEE International Symposium on Hardware Oriented Security and Trust (HOST). :41—44.
IoT technology is finding new applications every day and everywhere in our daily lives. With that, come new use cases with new challenges in terms of device and data security. One of such challenges arises from the fact that many IoT devices/nodes are no longer being deployed on owners' premises, but rather on public or private property other than the owner's. With potential physical access to the IoT node, adversaries can launch many attacks that circumvent conventional protection methods. In this paper, we propose Secure SoC (SecSoC), a secure system-on-chip architecture that mitigates such attacks. This include logical memory dump attacks, bus snooping attacks, and compromised operating systems. SecSoC relies on two main mechanisms, (1) providing security extensions to the compute engine that runs the user application without changing its instruction set, (2) adding a security management unit (SMU) that provide HW security primitives for encryption, hashing, random number generators, and secrets store (keys, certificates, etc.). SecSoC ensures that no secret or sensitive data can leave the SoC IC in plaintext. SecSoC is being implemented in Bluespec System V erilog. The experimental results will reveal the area, power, and cycle time overhead of these security extensions. Overall performance (total execution time) will also be evaluated using IoT benchmarks.

Reinforcement of IoT Open Platform Security using PUF -based Device Authentication. 2022 13th International Conference on Information and Communication Technology Convergence (ICTC). :1969—1971.
Recently, as the use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has expanded, security issues have emerged. As a solution to the IoT security problem, PUF (Physical Unclonable Function) technology has been proposed, and research on key generation or device authentication using it has been actively conducted. In this paper, we propose a method to apply PUF-based device authentication technology to the Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF) open platform. The proposed method can greatly improve the security level of IoT open platform by utilizing PUF technology.

Cryptographic Data Security for IoT Healthcare in 5G and Beyond Networks. 2022 IEEE Sensors. :1—4.
While 5G Edge Computing along with IoT technology has transformed the future of healthcare data transmission, it presents security vulnerabilities and risks when transmitting patients' confidential information. Currently, there are very few reliable security solutions available for healthcare data that routes through SDN routers in 5G Edge Computing. These solutions do not provide cryptographic security from IoT sensor devices. In this paper, we studied how 5G edge computing integrated with IoT network helps healthcare data transmission for remote medical treatment, explored security risks associated with unsecured data transmission, and finally proposed a cryptographic end-to-end security solution initiated at IoT sensor devices and routed through SDN routers. Our proposed solution with cryptographic security initiated at IoT sensor goes through SDN control plane and data plane in 5G edge computing and provides an end-to-end secured communication from IoT device to doctor's office. A prototype built with two-layer encrypted communication has been lab tested with promising results. This analysis will help future security implementation for eHealth in 5G and beyond networks.
