Secure authentication of cyber-physical systems with autonomous nano-optical devices

该项目侧重于将身份验证作为安全基础设施的关键要素，保护机密性、隐私性、价值，并允许各种电子设备、传感器和技术（称为网络物理系统（CPS））的可靠融合和集成。安全是云技术和物联网发展的核心挑战，在物联网中，物理环境成为连接和共享数据的全球基础设施的一部分。该项目将利用当前纳米技术的发展，电子设备的普遍小型化，以及集成多种技术的日益增强的材料。光学可变器件、量子电子学和先进制造的最新进展为新一代系统安全、身份验证访问和密集集成的真实电子打开了道路。该研究计划将侧重于保护隐私、完整性，并确保战略目标领域“信息和通信技术（ICT）”内设备的安全可靠集成，特别是研究主题：“网络安全-大规模安全认证和授权”和“物联网-集成”。它也可以用作电子钥匙，让数据所有者在CPS的生命周期内维护数据，以确保其隐私和真实性，或者作为安全电子设备的安全3D集成过程的工具。支持组织的特殊应用兴趣涉及智能电网、自主移动系统、医疗监控和金融交易。BC Hydro需要新的改进方法来验证从智能电表、设备和传感器捕获的数据，验证用户身份，并保护和授权对服务和信息的访问。XCo正在研究更好的方法来确保其物联网网络中的敏感数据隐私。Adigy打算将该技术应用于个人无线传感器和访问专有数据的个性化授权。

This project focuses on authentication as a key element of security infrastructures that protects confidentiality, privacy, value, and allows the reliable fusion and integration of a variety of electronic devices, sensors and technologies, called cyber-physical systems (CPS). Security is a central challenge for the development of cloud-based technologies and the Internet of Things IoT), in which the physical environment becomes part of the global infrastructures of connected and shareable data. This project will take advantage of current developments in nanotechnology, the general miniaturization of electronic devices, and increasingly augmented materials integrating multiple technologies. Recent progress in optical variable devices, quantum electronics, and availability of advanced manufacturing open paths to new generations of system security, authenticated access, and densely integrated authentic electronics. This research proposal will focus on protecting privacy, integrity and ensure secure reliable integration of devices within the Strategic Target Area 'Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)', in particular the Research Topics: 'Cybersecurity - Secure authentication and authorization at scale', and 'IoT - Integration'. It can be also used as an electronic key to allow the data to be maintained by the data owners to ensure their privacy and the authenticity through the life of a CPS, or as a tool for secure 3D integration process of the secure electronic devices. The supporting organizations special application interests relate to smart grid, autonomous mobile systems, medical monitoring, and financial transactions. BC Hydro demands new improved methods to authenticate data captured from smart meters, devices and sensors, to validate user's identities, and to secure and authorize access to services and information. XCo is researching better methods to ensure sensitive data privacy in their IoT network. Adigy intends to apply the proposed technology to personal wireless sensors and personalized authorization for access to proprietary data.
