Lancaster University lecturers are to lead projects tackling cybersecurity issues at the edge of the internet.
The PETRAS National Centre of Excellence for IoT Systems Cybersecurity today announced 16 new research projects supporting collaboration and activities in this area.
In collaboration with BBC R&D, the ET project, led by Dr Adrian Gradinar, a lecturer in Smart Home Futures and Dr Michael Stead, a lecturer in Design at Lancaster University, aims to improve the acceptability and adoption of more secure and sustainable IoT devices and systems.
With the number of active IoT devices expected to double in 2020-2025 comes more opportunities for human and machine actors to carry out cyber-attacks on devices and systems, leading to an increase in both the volume of datafication generated and the amount of energy consumed by the IoT.
