AbstractInternet-of-Things (IoTs) are becoming more and more popular in our life. IoT devices are generally designed for sensing or actuation purposes. However, the current sensing system on IoT devices lacks the understanding of sensing needs, which diminishes the sensing flexibility, isolation, and security when multiple sensing applications need to use sensor resources. In this work, we propose VirtSense, an ARM TrustZone based virtual sensing system, to provide each sensing application a virtual sensor instance, which further enables a safe, flexible and isolated sensing environment on the IoT devices. Our preliminary results show that VirtSense: 1) can provide virtual sensor instance for each sensing application so that the sensing needs of each application will be satisfied without affecting others; 2) is able to enforce access control policy even under an untrusted environment.
