Keynote: Security and Privacy in the Age of IoT

Abstract

In this talk I will summarize three papers from our research group [1-3] studying areas where IoT technologies are having profound implications on our expectations of security, safety, and privacy. Sexual preferences are one of our most intimate and private choices, and new IoT devices, while facilitating and expanding how partners can enjoy sexual intimacy can also put at risk their privacy and safety. The first part of the talk will focus on ourwork analyzing three smart vibrators [3]. We found several vulnerabilities that can lead to privacy and even sexual assault. We discuss this work in the context of liberty and morals legislation.
