Title

Wireless Meta-sensing for IoT Security and Beyond

 

Abstract 

The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly growing and has been widely recognized as the next revolution to transform various realms of our daily lives. While the security and privacy threats (e.g., the IoT devices abuse, information theft, and sensor/sensor network resilience) towards IoT are also increasing. However, due to the complexity of the surrounding occlusion, unavoidable variance in signal scaling, and privacy-preserving requirements, existing solutions yield unsatisfactory performance. In this talk, I will present our recent work, Wireless Meta-sensing, to tackle these challenges. At last, I will conclude the talk with the latest thoughts towards the next paradigm of IoT.
