两阶段二进制物联网固件漏洞检测方法研究

物联网(internet of things, IoT )设备漏洞带来的安全问题引发了研究人员的广泛关注,出于系统稳定性的考虑,设备厂商往往不会及时更新IoT固件中的补丁,导致漏洞对设备安全性影响时间更长;同时,大部分IoT固件文件源码未知,对其进行漏洞检测的难度更大。基于机器学习的代码比较技术可以有效应用于IoT设备的漏洞检测,但是这些技术存在因代码特征提取粒度粗、提取的语义特征不充分和代码比较范围未进行约束而导致的高误报问题。针对这些问题,提出一种基于神经网络的两阶段IoT固件漏洞检测方法。基于代码的多维特征缩小代码比较范围,提高比较的效率和精确度;再基于代码特征,用神经网络模型对代码相似程度进行学习,从而判断二进制IoT固件的代码与漏洞代码的相似程度,以检测IoT固件中是否存在漏洞,最后实验证明了所提方法在IoT固件检测中的有效性。

Security and Privacy in IoT: A Survey

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of globally connected physical objects, which are associated with each other via Internet. The IoT foresees the interconnection of few trillions of intelligent objects around us, uniquely and addressable every day, these objects have the ability to accumulate process and communicate data about themselves and their surrounding environment. The best examples of IoT systems are health care, building smart city with advance construction management system, public and defense surveillance and data acquisition. Recent advancement in the technology has developed smart and intelligent sensor nodes and RFIDs lead to a large number of wireless networks with smart and intelligent devices (object, or things) connected to the Internet continuously transmit the data. So to provide security and privacy to this data in IoT is a very challenging task, which is to be concerned at highest priority for several current and future applications of IoT.

An energy-efficient power allocation algorithm under reliability constraint for industrial Internet of Thing systems

With the development of 5G technology, the Internet of Things (IoT) system is becoming more and more widely used in various fields. However, the reliability issue still hinders the wide applications. For instance, the transmission reliability of the IoT system will be significantly affected by the status of end devices, wireless channel quality, and the environment. Moreover, according to the Automatic Repeat-reQuest (ARQ) retransmission mechanism in the 802.15.4 protocol, if the IoT end devices pursue a conservative power model causing low signal transmission power, it is likely that the signal power will lose too much during the transmission process. This will result in the increase of the network packet loss rate and the power consumption during the data retransmission. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a reasonable transmission power allocation algorithm to ensure the transmission reliability, considering the ARQ retransmission mechanism. The algorithm intends to find the optimal transmission power of each IoT end device, so as to minimize the total energy consumption. The simulation results demonstrate that the power allocation algorithm improves the reliability of the IoT system, compared with other algorithms.

Machine learning for internet of things data analysis: a survey

Rapid developments in hardware, software, and communication technologies have facilitated the emergence of Internet-connected sensory devices that provide observations and data measurements from the physical world. By 2020, it is estimated that the total number of Internet-connected devices being used will be between 25 and 50 billion. As these numbers grow and technologies become more mature, the volume of data being published will increase. The technology of Internet-connected devices, referred to as Internet of Things (IoT), continues to extend the current Internet by providing connectivity and interactions between the physical and cyber worlds. In addition to an increased volume, the IoT generates big data characterized by its velocity in terms of time and location dependency, with a variety of multiple modalities and varying data quality. Intelligent processing and analysis of this big data are the key to developing smart IoT applications. This article assesses the various machine learning methods that deal with the challenges presented by IoT data by considering smart cities as the main use case. The key contribution of this study is the presentation of a taxonomy of machine learning algorithms explaining how different techniques are applied to the data in order to extract higher level information. The potential and challenges of machine learning for IoT data analytics will also be discussed. A use case of applying a Support Vector Machine (SVM) to Aarhus smart city traffic data is presented for a more detailed exploration.     

Data Transmission Using IoT in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks in Smart City Congestion

Development of Internet of Things (IoT) enables smart city advancement throughout the world. Increasing number of vehicles has brought focus on road safety precautions and in-vehicle communication. This is the right time to focus on the development of new applications and services for vehicular environments. The Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) are an interesting range of Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) where the Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and vehicle roadways transmission is possible. The V2V scheme is fresh by combining Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi), Bluetooth and other all sorts of communication standards. An immense number of nodes working with these networks and due to their immense displacements, the analysis is prevailing regarding the possibility of routing standards. The estimation of conventional routing standards for MANETs illustrates that their behaviors are minimal in VANETs. The intention is to make use of mediators for routing with an effort to address the before described issues. The mediators are accountable for gathering data related to routing and identifying the optimal paths for forwarding information packets. The routing scheme is based on group routing standards and data cluster framework for locating the best possible routes. In this paper, we analyze smart cities vehicle communication development by implementing IoT. We also discuss the ways to minimize the limitations connected to IoT deployment and implementation in smart city environment using multi mediator scheme.
