The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) with its smart devices has fundamentally changed how different environments, such as homes, offices, factories, smart buildings, and smart grids, are used and operated. However, as stated in the , security is a major concern for IoT networks and environments, where the risks of physical device tampering, injection of malicious devices, and unpatched vulnerabilities are higher than in traditional networks. This is nicely captured in the : “If it’s smart, it’s vulnerable.” Following “when everything is connected, everything must be protected”, CISSAN proposes and implements algorithms for mitigating IoT security threats (good reviews of which can be found in and ) through collective decision-making and with a reduced impact on the limited resources of IoT devices. These algorithms are based on research and innovation in optimizing the distribution of security capabilities and aggregating the intelligence in IoT network nodes. Three industrial use cases, which nowadays heavily rely on the use of IoT, inform the project developments and are used for validating and demonstrating the project results: (i) public transportation; (ii) smart energy grids; (iii) mining and tunnelling operations.
Geodata is presenting their CISSAN work in their booth at the Geomechanik Kolloquium conference in Salzburg (Austria) on October 10 -11 2024 ().
This includes the technical efforts in WP4 on the data quality verification method and system and on sensor data integrity protection (using both data signing and blockchain-based techniques) and a plan for integrating these new capabilities to Geodata monitoring products.
