On-Device Security And Privacy Mechanisms For Resource-Limited Devices: A Bottom-Up Approach, Leonardo Babun

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This doctoral dissertation introduces novel mechanisms to provide on-device security and privacy for resource-limited smart devices and their applications. These mechanisms aim to cover five fundamental contributions in the emerging Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Internet of Things (IoT), and Industrial IoT (IIoT) fields. First, we present a host-based fingerprinting solution for device identification that is complementary to other security services like device authentication and access control. Then, we design a kernel- and user-level detection framework that aims to discover compromised resource-limited devices based on behavioral analysis. Further we apply dynamic analysis of smart devices’ applications to uncover security and privacy risks …
