***Call for Papers**: The International Journal of Internet of Things and
Cyber-Assurance (IJITCA) - *
https://www.inderscience.com/jhome.php?jcode=ijitca
The objective of the IJITCA is to increase the visibility of current
research and emergent trends in Cyber-Assurance theory, application,
embedded security and machine-learning for the Internet of Things (IoT),
software-defined networks (SDN)/network function virtualization (NFV) and
Fog computing architectures based on theoretical aspects and studies of
practical applications. Cyber-assurance is the justified confidence that
networked systems are adequately secure to meet operational needs, even in
the presence of attacks, failures, accidents and unexpected events.
Cyber-assurance means that IoT systems, smart internet connected devices
(ICD) and networks provide the opportunity of automatically securing
themselves against cyber-attacks. The difference is that the concept of
cyber-assurance must provide embedded, secure microchips/processors in ICD
devices and virtual networks that can continue to operate correctly even
when subjected to an attack.
IoT devices using SDN/NFV and Fog computing systems and networks should be
able to resist the various security cyber-attacks such as hacking of
networks, devices, theft of information, disruption, etc. and be able to
continue performing under severe environmental conditions. Through embedded
processors and machine learning algorithms over the transmitted
information, the miscoding and leaking of information during transmission
channels has to monitor any loss, miscoding and leaking of data. Timely
adjustments of information with falling quality and automatic switching to
the best routing IoT systems by making uses of multi-directional routing is
also warranted. Cyber-assurance will need to provide the principles and
technologies to unify these systems to deliver the end-state goal of secure
IoT systems for greatly enhanced interoperability, scalability,
performance, and agility.
