RMIT University has released Dr. Abebe Diro’s groundbreaking research in IoT security, which promises to revolutionise the industry by tackling issues about heterogeneity and resource constraints.
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a system where everyday objects (things) are connected to the internet and can communicate with each other, and has become a rapidly growing area of technology that offers a vast potential to revolutionise different sectors such as healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, and smart homes. However, this growth also comes with a series of security challenges and concerns.
Securing IoT environments is particularly challenging due to the distributed nature of smart devices, resource constraints, and heterogeneity. Addressing these security concerns requires a comprehensive approach that involves improving security protocols and standards while implementing effective security measures at the application, network, and device levels.
Dr. Abebe Diro, Lecturer of Cyber Security at RMIT University and RMIT Centre for Cyber Security Research and Innovation (CCSRI) member, has demonstrated the inadequacy of traditional internet security in meeting the requirements of IoT devices. Throughout his research, Diro has focused on redesigning the architecture and algorithms of existing security systems for IoT, using cryptography and machine learning.
Through extensive testing, Diro has developed models that have successfully enhanced the security of IoT devices. In addition to this, Diro has also applied its expertise to space anomaly detection, which shares many similarities with IoT anomaly detection. Both of these fields require identifying and mitigating unusual events that could result in severe consequences.
According to Diro, there are significant similarities between IoT anomaly detection and space anomaly detection, particularly in their shared focus on identifying and mitigating unusual events that could result in significant consequences.
“It’s not merely the nature of each of these disciplines that align, but the physical ecosystem. Considering the miniaturisation of satellites, this increase in space hardware and activity will rely on corresponding advancements in security, just as the rapid growth of IoT has done on earth,” Diro says.
Diro has also stated that identifying anomalous patterns in Space Information Networks (SINs) is crucial in ensuring space security. However, the current methods of detecting anomalies in SINs, such as simple threshold techniques, could be more efficient and often result in high false alarm rates, high resource requirements, and low scalability.
Diro is now focused on applying his previous work to SINs by developing new algorithms and methods. He aims to enhance the accuracy of space anomaly detection and provide near real-time and scalable data, ultimately improving space security.
