Security Hardware and Hardware Security for Ultra-low-power IoT: New challenges & Opportunities
Date:
The Internet of Things (IoT) has been fostered by accelerated advancements in communication technologies, computation technologies, sensor technologies, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and semiconductor technologies. During IoT’s operations, it may collect, transmit and process secret data, which raise security problems. Implementing security mechanisms for ultra-low-power and low-cost IoT devices is challenging because they are intended to be battery-based devices with limited power budget, limited computation, and small memory footprint. In this talk, we will summarize the current options to secure ultra-low-power IoT applications and present our work on cryptographic hardware for IoT and our hardware security evaluation framework based on power estimation tools. This talk also discusses future research directions for security for ultra-low-power IoT applications.
