Embedded Device Forensics and Security

Abstract

While the increasing digitalization of our society and amalgamation of embedded devices into the everincreasing facets of our daily life (e.g., in smart and intelligent vehicles, smart cities and smart nations, and critical infrastructure sectors) have resulted in improved productivity and quality of life, the trend has also resulted in a trend of increasing frequency and sophistication of cyber exploitation and cyber threats. Hence, there is a need for coordinated efforts from the research community to address resulting concerns using both cryptographic and non-cryptographic solutions, such as those presented in this special section.

Secure Outsourced Principal Eigentensor Computation for Cyber-Physical-Social Systems

“…This, perhaps, explains the increasingly popularity of cloud computing due to the capability to support sustainable computing based on a pay-as-you-use business model [4]. Hence, we have witnessed a recent trend in processing cyber-physical-social big data in the cloud, despite the underlying cloud security issues, for example potential leakage of user's network data (particularly in the aftermath of the revelations by Edward Snowden), risks of malicious insider attacks, and inference threats [5,6]. Thus, addressing such concerns is key to widespread cloud adoption in CPSS [7].…”

IoTChain: A Three-Tier Blockchain-based IoT Security Architecture

“…smart cities and smart homes) and military application (e.g. Internet of Battlefield Things and Internet of Military Things) [1,2,3,4]. Similar to other popular information and communications technologies, security and privacy issues are two key considerations and these are active and ongoing research areas.…”
