Author(s)
Edward Griffor
The topic of system security, and in particular that of cybersecurity differs in a critical way from the other concerns we have about systems. Though concerns like safety and resil- ience do have challenges associated with design, realization, and

Demystifying the Internet of Things

September 26, 2016
Author(s)
Jeffrey M. Voas, Larry Feldman, Gregory A. Witte
This bulletin summarizes the information presented in NIST SP 800-183, Networks of 'Things'. This publication offers an underlying and foundational science to IoT based on the realization that IoT involves sensing, computing, communication, and actuation.

Networks of 'Things'

July 28, 2016
Author(s)
Jeffrey M. Voas
System primitives allow formalisms, reasoning, simulations, and reliability and security risk-tradeoffs to be formulated and argued. In this work, five core primitives belonging to most distributed systems are presented. These primitives apply well to

Author(s)
Edward Griffor, Agaram Venkatesh, Frank Barickman, Felix Felix Fahrenkrog
Ubiquitous, commercial deployment of automated road vehicles is desirable in order to realize their potential benefits such as crash avoidance, congestion mitigation, reduced environment impact, reduced driver stress, and increased driver productivity. A

Learning Internet of Things Security "Hands-on"

February 3, 2016
Author(s)
Constantinos Kolias, Angelos Stavrou, Jeff Voas, Irena Bojanova, D. Richard Kuhn
Our research began from asking whether there is a science behind the Internet of Things (IoT). We started from zero knowledge and no bias. The results of that work determined that indeed there is a science, but it is a science of numerous actors, that when
