Secure On-Demand Services From the Internet of Mobile Things (IoMoT)
Abstract
Groups of heterogeneous autonomous vehicles (aerial, ground, underwater, etc. are going to invest human environment including battlefields. Due to their characteristics, they are natural candidates to integrate the Internet of Things (loT), a dynamic and global network infrastructure where intelligent nodes are interconnected. By including autonomous vehicles into IoT, it will be possible to compose the Internet of Mobile Things (loMoT), which introduces new opportunities and challenges. IoMoT offers the number, so the parallelism, a hierarchical infrastructure (UAV, SWARM, Data center), redundancy, mobile and multiple view angles and cooperation possibilities. But IoMoT also raises challenges related to scalability, group control, synchronization, power consumption, limited embedded resources and action time so an important turnover. All these dimensions introduce manifold security issues, so in this project we will focus on security considering the global future IoMoT context. Our approach is first based on a in-depth study of security requirements based on the state of the art attacks. Then we specify some reference scenarios that will be used to perform analysis of risk and vulnerability to cyber attacks. In a third step we detail a method and countermeasures to secure the IoMoT, it will be based on adaptive encryption and identification schemes that will rely on High Performance Embedded Computing and energy efficiency, redundancy and adaptation strategies within the whole infrastructure.
