Many countermeasures have been put in place to address these concerns, but the computational burden they impose may be excessive for low-power devices. In particular, the devices which comprise The Internet of Things are particularly vulnerable. This paper provides numerical assessments of their vulnerability to a class of attacks based on triggering buffer overflows. We focus on two such attacks, namely return-to-lib-c and code injection, for IoT devices using the FreeRTOS (V9.0.0) operating system. We show the deficiencies of the prevention measures provided in FreeRTOS to prevent these kinds of attacks, and compare them to the more robust mechanisms available in a mainstream OS (Ubuntu 16.04.1). The paper concludes with suggestions of how to mitigate these vulnerabilities in FreeRTOS - further investigation will be required to determine whether similar vulnerabilities exist in other IoT operating systems.","PeriodicalId":149504,"journal":{"name":"2019 Global IoT Summit (GIoTS)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123349984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many different technologies and devices, often constrained by energy consumption, size or price, make for a complex and difficult scene. Added to that, a broad range of data consumers and agents interacting with those systems have different requirements and expectations regarding security and privacy, while existing approaches at evaluating security do not account for that diversity of security and privacy expectations. Ontologies have proven to be a a good way to represent knowledge in a way that embraces the distributed nature of IoT, as well as the capability of being machine-friendly. On top of that, previous works have been already established a foundation on the representation of those security elements and traits in several scenarios, including IoT, establishing the grounds for this work. In this paper we present an Ontology for IoT Context-Based Security Evaluation (IoTSecEv), developed following the NeOn methodology, performing a conceptual formalization of the observer’s context on security preferences, and linking this knowledge to concepts of an existing ontology on IoT Security: IoTSec.","PeriodicalId":149504,"journal":{"name":"2019 Global IoT Summit (GIoTS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129972341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Technically, the Smart City concept integrates different vertical domains and uses an Open Standardized Urban Platform (OSUP) as a horizontal integration layer. In this sense, urban platforms play an important role in the digitisation process with the objective of creating more environmentally friendly cities. They face several questions like which ICT architecture to rely on, ensure interoperability, avoid vendor lock in... However, usage of open standards is still a gap regarding interoperability, which is a key concept in urban data platforms. Hence, the present paper describes an Open Specifications Framework, based on global open standards as enabler of urban platform developments under the interoperability and openness concepts. This framework is defined in the scope of the mySMARTLife project (GA #731297) and its deployment is carried out in three cities: Nantes, Hamburg and Helsinki.","PeriodicalId":149504,"journal":{"name":"2019 Global IoT Summit (GIoTS)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132262574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data used for training, validation and testing of the network comprises of environmental data from the IoT sensors and manual recordings of the door and window states. Results show that the classifier is able to correctly determine occupancy of our offices from the IoT sensor measurements with accuracy up to 94.6% and 91.5% for the binary (presence or absence of persons) and multi-class (no person, one person or two or more persons) problems, respectively. Our analysis also shows that occupancy detection with a network trained either in another room or with single environmental parameter is also possible but with less accuracy.","PeriodicalId":149504,"journal":{"name":"2019 Global IoT Summit (GIoTS)","volume":"123 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132824876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

VirIoT can be useful for small stakeholders whose applications require large-scale IoT infrastructures, who are nevertheless unable to handle the infrastructure deployment.

Following an initial table-top edge demonstrator a hemi-spherical display improves emotional contact to users. A first use case tested an integrated acquisition and inference system that was trained to differentiate physical and emotional stress. The system measured stress in firemen during training in a cage maze and in hot training locations and provided functions to acquire expert labels.
