SUMMARY
Home device and network security is an area with major research challenges and great potential for short concept-to-market cycles. Security in this space often builds on already established research trends. However, existing theoretical methods and best practices are then often applied in new innovative contexts and on new concepts leading to shortcomings in the areas of usability, ubiquity, privacy and simplification.
This project’s goal is to research and develop novel network and service security frameworks for Internet-connected devices such as smart phones, digital cameras, home hubs and Internet TVs.
