Virtual Sensor Middleware: Managing Iot Data For The Fog-Cloud Platform, Fadi Almahamid, Hanan Lutfiyya, Katarina Grolinger
Virtual Sensor Middleware: Managing Iot Data For The Fog-Cloud Platform, Fadi Almahamid, Hanan Lutfiyya, Katarina Grolinger
Electrical and Computer Engineering Publications
This paper introduces the Virtual Sensor Middleware (VSM), which facilitates distributed sensor data processing on multiple fog nodes. VSM uses a Virtual Sensor as the core component of the middleware. The virtual sensor concept is redesigned to support functionality beyond sensor/device virtualization, such as deploying a set of virtual sensors to represent an IoT application and distributed sensor data processing across multiple fog nodes. Furthermore, the virtual sensor deals with the heterogeneous nature of IoT devices and the various communication protocols using different adapters to communicate with the IoT devices and the underlying protocol. VSM uses the publish-subscribe design pattern …
Towards Emulation Of Intelligent Iot Networks On Eu-Us Testbeds, Sachin Sharma, Saish Urumkar, Gianluca Fontanesi, Venkat Sai Suman Lamba Karanam, Boyang Hu, Byrav Ramamurthy, Avishek Nag
Towards Emulation Of Intelligent Iot Networks On Eu-Us Testbeds, Sachin Sharma, Saish Urumkar, Gianluca Fontanesi, Venkat Sai Suman Lamba Karanam, Boyang Hu, Byrav Ramamurthy, Avishek Nag
Conference papers
This paper introduces our project on experimental validation of intelligent Internet of Things (IoT) networks. The project is a part of the NGIAtlantic H2020 third open call to perform experiments on EU and US wireless testbeds. The project proposes five different experiments to be performed on EU/US testbeds: (1) automatic configuration/discovery of Software Defined Networking (SDN) in wireless IoT sensor networks, (2) Machine Learning (ML) assisted control and data traffic path discovery experiments, (3) GPU and Hadoop cluster assisted experiments for ML algorithms, (4) Inter-testbed experiments, and (5) Failure recovery intercity experiments. Further, initial experimentation on EU/US testbeds is explored …
Experimenting An Edge-Cloud Computing Model On The Gpulab Fed4fire Testbed, Vikas Tomer, Sachin Sharma
Experimenting An Edge-Cloud Computing Model On The Gpulab Fed4fire Testbed, Vikas Tomer, Sachin Sharma
Conference papers
There are various open testbeds available for testing algorithms and prototypes, including the Fed4Fire testbeds. This demo paper illustrates how the GPULAB Fed4Fire testbed can be used to test an edge-cloud model that employs an ensemble machine learning algorithm for detecting attacks on the Internet of Things (IoT). We compare experimentation times and other performance metrics of our model based on different characteristics of the testbed, such as GPU model, CPU speed, and memory. Our goal is to demonstrate how an edge-computing model can be run on the GPULab testbed. Results indicate that this use case can be deployed seamlessly …
Honeypot-Based Security Enhancements For Information Systems, Javier R. Franco
Honeypot-Based Security Enhancements For Information Systems, Javier R. Franco
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this thesis is to explore honeypot-based security enhancements for information systems. First, we provide a comprehensive survey of the research that has been carried out on honeypots and honeynets for Internet of Things (IoT), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and Cyber-physical Systems (CPS). We provide a taxonomy and extensive analysis of the existing honeypots and honeynets, state key design factors for the state-of-the-art honeypot/honeynet research and outline open issues. Second, we propose S-Pot, a smart honeypot framework based on open-source resources. S-Pot uses enterprise and IoT honeypots to attract attackers, learns from attacks via ML classifiers, and …
Cross-Atlantic Experiments On Eu-Us Test-Beds, Sachin Sharma, Avishek Nag, Byrav Ramamurthy
Cross-Atlantic Experiments On Eu-Us Test-Beds, Sachin Sharma, Avishek Nag, Byrav Ramamurthy
Articles
Today, there are a number of real testbeds worldwide among which Fed4Fire testbeds are prominent in the EU, while POWDER and COSMOS are prominent in the US. This paper aims to validate inter-testbed experiments between the EU and the US by connecting a number of Fed4Fire and US testbeds as part of an NGIAtlantic project. The goal is to compare the hop count, the topology formed, the maximum bandwidth permitted, and the loss and jitter that occurred between different testbeds. Additionally, Software Defined Networking (SDN) experiments between EU and US testbeds are conducted, and an edge-computing use case is developed …
Machine Learning-Based Device Type Classification For Iot Device Re- And Continuous Authentication, Kaustubh Gupta
Machine Learning-Based Device Type Classification For Iot Device Re- And Continuous Authentication, Kaustubh Gupta
Department of Computer Science and Engineering: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Today, the use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is higher than ever and it is growing rapidly. Many IoT devices are usually manufactured by home appliance manufacturers where security and privacy are not the foremost concern. When an IoT device is connected to a network, currently there does not exist a strict authentication method that verifies the identity of the device, allowing any rogue IoT device to authenticate to an access point. This thesis addresses the issue by introducing methods for continuous and re-authentication of static and dynamic IoT devices, respectively. We introduce mechanisms and protocols for authenticating a …

Future Wireless Networking Experiments Escaping Simulations, Sachin Sharma, Saish Urumkar, Gianluca Fontanesi, Byrav Ramamurthy, Avishek Nag
Articles
In computer networking, simulations are widely used to test and analyse new protocols and ideas. Currently, there are a number of open real testbeds available to test the new protocols. In the EU, for example, there are Fed4Fire testbeds, while in the US, there are POWDER and COSMOS testbeds. Several other countries, including Japan, Brazil, India, and China, have also developed next-generation testbeds. Compared to simulations, these testbeds offer a more realistic way to test protocols and prototypes. In this paper, we examine some available wireless testbeds from the EU and the US, which are part of an open-call EU …
Assessing Security Risks With The Internet Of Things, Faith Mosemann
Assessing Security Risks With The Internet Of Things, Faith Mosemann
Senior Honors Theses
For my honors thesis I have decided to study the security risks associated with the Internet of Things (IoT) and possible ways to secure them. I will focus on how corporate, and individuals use IoT devices and the security risks that come with their implementation. In my research, I found out that IoT gadgets tend to go unnoticed as a checkpoint for vulnerability. For example, often personal IoT devices tend to have the default username and password issued from the factory that a hacker could easily find through Google. IoT devices need security just as much as computers or servers …
Performance Evaluation Of An Edge Computing Implementation Of Hyperledger Sawtooth For Iot Data Security, Sean Connolly
Performance Evaluation Of An Edge Computing Implementation Of Hyperledger Sawtooth For Iot Data Security, Sean Connolly
Dissertations
Blockchain offers a potential solution to some of the security challenges faced by the internet-of-things (IoT) by using its practically immutable ledger to store data transactions. However, past applications of blockchain in IoT encountered limitations in the rate at which transactions were committed to the chain as new blocks. These limitations were often the result of the time-consuming and computationally expensive consensus mechanisms found in public blockchains. Hyperledger Sawtooth is an open-source private blockchain platform that offers an efficient proof-of-elapsed-time (PoET) consensus mechanism. Sawtooth has performed well in benchmarks against other blockchains. However, a performance evaluation for a practical application …
