Recent advances in the area of Internet-Connected Objects have revolutionized the everyday lives of people and the industrial world. The Internet of Things (IoT) has infused immense doses of "intelligence" in the physical world making the transition towards digitising everything. Nowadays, most devices around us are either connected to the IoT or are about to be. Physical objects are becoming intelligent through connected devices that are either attached to them or monitoring/controlling them. At a larger scale, cities are becoming smarter, embracing a plethora of technologies to enhance and improve the quality of everyday living.
The evolution of traditional wireless sensor networks towards the IoT has introduced numerous opportunities for advanced and promising applications for citizens and industries. Many companies have recently launched "smart products" into the market, in every domain: home, automotive, agriculture, water, air, environment, etc. Most of these products are quite innovative and can be useful for improving and simplifying the lives of citizens, assisting them to their daily activities or contributing also to improving the municipal services and improving the quality of the environment we live.
However, most of these products fail to address even simple challenges for security and privacy: they do not protect the data they gather and transmit, they do not use encrypted connections, they use simplistic credentials, etc. The IoT, though, raises significant challenges regarding security, and privacy. Having large numbers of connected devices deployed everywhere around us, e.g. in homes, offices, buses, on the street, monitoring the everyday activities of citizens raises issues regarding user privacy. Privacy issues exist not only when users are actively involved in IoT applications e.g. when sending data from their mobile phones, but also when they are subjects of monitoring by other devices, e.g. when they are being monitored by cameras on the streets. Devices that offer actuation capabilities, e.g. traffic lights, doors, windows, alarms and vehicles allow cyber-attacks to extend effects to the real world. Current centralized IoT solutions raise also security and privacy issues due to the single central point of gathering all data and mechanisms. To address this, lately, there is a shift of interest towards distributed or decentralized security solutions.
This workshop builds on the success of the first RED-IoT workshop collocated with the IEEE CAMAD 2014 conference in Athens, Greece, December 2014. It aims to bring together experts from academia and industry that are working in cross-layer issues in the areas of security, and privacy in the IoT. The goal is to present recent results of the research community, the industry and standardisation bodies and exchange ideas for joint research activities in the future.
