An access control management protocol for Internet of Things devices
Mark John Taylor, Denis Reilly, Brett Lempereur · Network Security · 2017
The Internet of Things (IoT) enables the integration of data from virtual and physical worlds.1 It involves smart objects that can understand and react to their environment in a variety of industrial, commercial and household settings.2 As the IoT expands the number of connected devices, there is the potential to allow cyber-attackers into the physical world in which we live, as they seize on security holes in these new systems.3 New security issues arise through the heterogeneity of IoT applications and devices and their large-scale deployment. The Internet of Things (IoT) enables the integration of data from virtual and physical worlds. But as the IoT expands it becomes more vulnerable to cyber-attackers. New security issues arise through the heterogeneity of IoT applications and devices and their large-scale deployment. Mark Taylor, Denis Reilly and Brett Lempereur of Liverpool John Moores University present a multi-tiered security approach for IoT devices that incorporates physical proximity controls, geo-location checking, instruction encryption, embedded controls and exception reporting.
