Addressing the unique security challenges posed by interconnected devices operating across diverse and dynamic environments.
IoT Security is a research area focused on protecting the growing ecosystem of Internet of Things devices, from sensors and wearables to industrial controllers and smart home systems. These devices often operate with limited resources, use proprietary protocols, and lack consistent security standards, making them attractive targets for attackers. Research in this field examines vulnerabilities in embedded systems, secure communication protocols, device authentication, firmware integrity, and large-scale device management. It also explores threat detection and response strategies tailored to distributed, low-power environments. As IoT adoption expands across industries and critical infrastructure, securing these devices becomes essential to maintaining privacy, safety, and system reliability.
