Lightweight security framework for Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN)

本项目旨在为低功耗广域网（LPWAN）设计和实现一个轻量级的安全框架。据估计，到2020年，智能城市的全球市场价值将达到1.5万亿美元，LPWAN将为90%的低带宽智能城市应用（如智能电表和智能建筑）提供连接。其中许多应用程序部署在机场、火车站、医院和政府园区等关键任务基础设施中，这些基础设施具有很强的安全要求。在这种新技术无处不在的部署之前，需要开发和实施强大的安全框架，以最大限度地减少未来对LPWAN的恶意攻击的巨大经济和社会后果。

This project aims to design and implement a lightweight security framework for Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN). Smart cities are estimated to have a worldwide market value of US$1.5 trillion by 2020, and LPWAN will provide connectivity to 90% of low bandwidth, smart city applications such as smart metres and smart buildings. Many of these applications are deployed in mission-critical infrastructure such as airport, train station, hospital and government campuses, which have strong security requirements. Before the ubiquitous deployment of such new technology, a strong security framework needs to be developed and implemented to minimise enormous economic and social consequences of future malicious attacks to LPWAN.
