专家简介：Professor Lam is a Professor of Computer Science at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. He is currently the Program Chair (Secure Community) of the Interdisciplinary Graduate School of NTU, and Director of NTU’s SPIRIT Smart National Research Centre. Professor Lam has been a Professor of the Tsinghua University, PR China (2002-2010) and a faculty member of the National University of Singapore and the University of London since 1990. He was a visiting scientist at the Isaac Newton Institute of the Cambridge University and a visiting professor at the European Institute for Systems Security. In 1997, he founded PrivyLink International Ltd, a spin-off company of the National University of Singapore, specializing in e-security technologies for homeland security and financial systems. In 2012, he co-founded Soda Pte Ltd which won the Most Innovative Start Up Award at the RSA 2015 Conference. In 1998, he received the Singapore Foundation Award from the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry in recognition of his R&D achievement in Information Security in Singapore. Prof Lam received his B.Sc. (First Class Honours) from the University of London in 1987 and his Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge in 1990. His research interests include Distributed Systems, IoT Security Infrastructure, Distributed Authentication, Biometric Cryptography, Homeland Security and Cybersecurity.
报告摘要：Internet-of-Things (IoT) plays an important role as enabler in smart nation applications, especially in the value creation process from big data. As is expected, security has naturally become one main concern in the deployment of IoT devices. Due to the unique features and requirements of IoT, including limited compute resources, power, bandwidth and massive number of deployed IoT objects, and its loosely coupled networked architecture, new strategies and techniques are needed to provide feasible and practical solutions to IoT security. While substantial research efforts have been focusing on the lightweight communication protocols and cryptography/compression engines, one fundamental science question being asked is on the notion of “Identity in the Internet-of-Things” (or IDoT). In this talk, we’ll first discuss the concept of smart nation systems and the underlying key enabling technologies. The role of IoT Devices in the Digital Economy across Industry Sectors will be discussed. We’ll then explore the concept of IDoT and analyze why it is so unique as compared to the concept of “Identity of Users” (IDoU) in traditional networks and systems - typically attribute-based, multi-factor authentication. We will conclude this talk with open research issues in this direction.
