The current pandemic has highlighted the need for remote identity proofing (RIDP) that can enable applicants to prove their identity from anywhere, without the need for a special facility. However, the requirements set out by the National Institute of Standards and Technology for the highest level of assurance in RIDP systems currently rule out fully automated and remote solutions, as they are not yet foolproof. This article aims to propose a way forward for pervasive RIDP solutions and highlights the requirements for accomplishing the highest level of assurance in verifying identity. We pinpoint relevant issues and threats along with the current state-of-the-art countermeasures and discuss what else needs to be done to enable ubiquitous remote identity-proofing systems.","PeriodicalId":54330,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Consumer Electronics Magazine","volume":"1 1","pages":"62-71"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62340129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The constraints that have historically obstructed major innovations in technology can be addressed by advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, cloud, quantum computing, and the ubiquitous availability of data. Edge artificial intelligence refers to the deployment of AI applications on the edge device near the data source rather than in a cloud computing environment. Although edge data have been utilized to make inferences in real time through predictive models, real-time machine learning has not yet been fully adopted. Real-time machine learning utilizes real-time data to learn on the go, which helps in faster and more accurate real-time predictions and eliminates the need to store data eradicating privacy issues. In this article, we present the practical prospect of developing a physical threat detection system using real-time edge data from security cameras/sensors to improve the accuracy, efficiency, reliability, security, and privacy of the real-time inference model.","PeriodicalId":54330,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Consumer Electronics Magazine","volume":"1 1","pages":"72-78"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62340138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although connectivity, automation, and optimization made industrial sectors realize the full potential of smart manufacturing, the inclusion of supervisory control and data acquisition systems into cyberspace expanded the attack vectors that made industrial control systems the prime target for cyber-attackers. Conventional security solutions, such as firewalls, traditional intrusion-detection systems, and antivirus, have been proposed and developed by the research community acted as a proficient line of cyber-defense. However, protecting critical infrastructures from heterogeneous cyber-attacks for resilient operability still pose a significant research challenge. In addition, although machine learning and deep-learning-based intrusion-detection models have been proposed and optimized in the literature, operational viability still poses a significant setback for real-time intrusion detection on industrial control systems. By considering the limitations identified in the literature, a stacked deep-learning model is proposed and validated over laboratory-scale industrial datasets. Furthermore, this article provides an overview of cyber-physical systems, conventional security solutions, and their challenges in identifying unseen exploits.

This model employs natural language processing techniques to perform risk analysis for the interactions of users on social media platforms. Additionally, a case study on investors of virtual currencies in the USA is presented where the findings of the obtained results refer to almost a quarter of the sample includes risk indications that can be classified as not only technological risks but also financial, operational, and geopolitical risks.
