"Rice Boosts 'Internet of Things' Security — Again"
Engineers at Rice University have developed a technique that can significantly increase the security of the Internet of Things (IoT). The method introduced by Kaiyuan Yang, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at Rice's Brown School of Engineering, and graduate student Yan He, is hardware centered and aimed at defending against new types of attacks specifically created to compromise IoT and mobile systems. The engineers built energy-efficient and low-cost circuits that would make these systems 14,000 times more secure than existing protective technologies and techniques. Such advancements are essential as the adoption of IoT devices continues to grow. Other recent studies have shown that vulnerable IoT devices could allow attackers to access an entire network. This article continues to discuss the Rice team's technique to bolster IoT security and Rice University's previous breakthrough in the protection of IoT devices.
