Securing Internet Of Things (Iot) Data Storage, Savannah Malo

Honors Theses and Capstones

Internet of Things (IoT) devices are commonly known to be susceptible to security attacks, which can lead to the leakage, theft, or erasure of data. Despite similar attack methods used on conventional technologies, IoT devices differ in how they consist of a small amount of hardware, limited networking capability, and utilize NoSQL databases. IoT solutions prefer NoSQL databases since they are compatible for larger datasets, unstructured and time-series data. However, these implementations are less likely to employ critical security features, like authentication, authorization, and encryption. The purpose of this project is to understand why those security measures are not strictly …

The Effects Of Latency On 3d Interactive Data Visualizations, Allen Korenevsky

Master's Theses

Interactive data visualizations must respond fluidly to user input to be effective, or so we assume. In fact it is unknown exactly how fast a visualization must run to present every facet within a dataset. An engineering team with limited resources is left with intuition and estimates to determine if their application performs sufficiently well.

This thesis studies how latency affects users' comprehension of data visualizations, specifically 3D geospatial visualizations with large data sets. Subjects used a climate visualization showing temperatures spanning from the 19th to the 21st century to answer multiple choice questions. Metrics like their eye movements, time …
