<div dir="ltr"><div>A brand new IEEE SIG for Internet of Things (IoT) will be hosting it's very first meeting on December 2nd on NCSU campus.<br><br></div><div>I am very excited about this and thought that there was enough overlap in the three groups targeted here (Triangle robotics, Triangle Embedded, Triangle Linux) to hit all three groups. I will send out one more reminder as we get close to the event, but wanted to give everyone a chance to make sure to get this on their calendar.<br><br>I hope to see you there.<br><br>----------------------------<br><div id="meeting-description">

<p>Topic: Security for Ambient Assisted Living Multi-factor Authentication in the Internet of Things</p>
<p>Will describe mechanisms for achieving strong, multi-factor
authentication in Ambient Assisted Living environments. These mechanisms
rely on biometric-based technologies to provide information security
and privacy in the Internet of Things. The importance of user choice and
ease of use of authentication methods in achieving universal access to
services in assistive environments is described. Cryptographic algorithm
and protocol solutions that depend on a Public Key Infrastructure for
the protection of sensitive information are discussed. Lighter weight
alternatives are then proposed that use authenticated key exchange to
combat phishing and other attacks and provide mutual authentication and
data confidentiality</p>
