Plenary Panel: Trust, Privacy and Security in the IoT era: Can We Have All
Wednesday, Dec. 2ed, 2020 (US EST, GMT-5) 2:15 PM - 4:15 PM (US EST, GMT-5) Zoom Meeting
Internet of Things (IoT) has rapidly evolving from research to development, from technology to applications, and from Academics and industry to governments. IoT inspired real world initiatives include smart planets, smart cities, Internet of smart cameras and drones. One of the most frequently asked questions is about the meaning of trust, privacy and security in the Internet of Things. Are the traditional concepts of trust, privacy and security applicable to IoT of the future? What do we mean when we talk about trust, privacy and security in IoT systems, services and applications? Can we have all in the context of the Internet of everything?
