Sensors Webinar | IoT Network Security
the chair
Internet of Things security is a technical field that focuses on protecting connected devices and networks in the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things involves adding internet connections to interconnected systems of computing devices, machinery, digital machines, objects, animals, or humans. Each "thing" provides a unique identifier and the ability to automatically transmit data over the network. If devices are not properly protected, allowing them to connect to the internet can expose them to many serious vulnerabilities. All data in the Internet of Things may be stolen or invaded by cybercriminals. The more devices you connect, the more opportunities cybercriminals have to endanger your security. The consequences of IoT security vulnerabilities can be extremely destructive. As the Internet of Things becomes increasingly common in industry, cyber attacks may trigger a range of potential destructive consequences. For example, in the healthcare industry, devices may expose sensitive patient data or even endanger patient safety. In smart homes, compromised devices may allow criminals to monitor people's homes. Based on the above reasons, studying the security of the Internet of Things has become increasingly important.

Meet Our Speakers
Dr. Cristina Rodriguez-Sanchez
Experimental Sciences and Technology, Rey Juan Carlos University, Madrid, Spain;
Dr. Cristina Rodriguez-Sanchez received her Ph.D. in 2009, working on context-aware services, navigation, and telematics systems. She completed a postdoctoral research fellowship at the New Jersey Institute of Technology Center, focusing on embedded systems, education, and collaboration with other international institutions. She is a Head of the SENiaLAB (https://www.urjc.es/i-d-i/infraestructuras-de-apoyo-a-la-investigacion/5877-laboratorio-de-desarrollo-de-sistemas-de-navegacion-sensorial-y-de-sistemas-de-monitorizacion-senialab) laboratory of REDLABU-URJC. She is the academic secretary of research of the professorship SmartE2 (https://smarte2urjc.es) and co-director of the Master's Degree in Industrial Engineering.
During the last 10 years, her scientific achievements have focused on sensory location and navigation projects for routine and emergency scenarios. She is also associated with accessibility, bioengineering, instrumentation, sensor networks, and monitoring for emergencies, some even commercial. During her research career, she has published 28 indexed documents with high impact in Electronics Engineering and Computer Science (730 bibliographic citations) (June 2023; SCHOLAR). She is the first author of seventeen and the corresponding author of six journals. Moreover, she has published three chapters and two books (related to context-aware, monitoring, and education). For those publications, she has multidisciplinary collaborations (national and international). She has an H index of 14 (June 2023; Scholar). These numbers reflect both the quality of her publications and the high impact of her results and achievements in the scientific community.
Dr. Chee Kiat Seow
School of Computing Science, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, UK;
Prof. Seow received his B.Eng. and M.Sc. degrees in electrical and electronics engineering from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and the National University of Singapore, Singapore. He received a Ph.D. degree from Nanyang Technological University. Since 2023, he has been an associate professor and a Programme Director at the University of Glasgow, School of Computing Science, UK. His research interests include localization/navigation in GNSS-denied scenarios and cyber–physical security research using various signal processing and artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning methodologies, such as 5G/6G cyber–physical security on the spoofing attack on the GNSS/5G Drone and their detection with machine learning.
Prof. Dr. Jian Li
School of Cyberspace Security, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Beijing, China;
Prof. Dr. Li Jian is a professor and doctoral supervisor at the School of Cyberspace Security at the Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. He has researched cyberspace, information, quantum cryptography, and IoT security and published over 300 papers in domestic and foreign journals. such as 《IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security》, 《IEEE Internet of Things Journal》, 《Information Sciences》, 《EPJ Quantum Technology》, 《Chinese Science》, and 《China Science Bulletin》, including over 100 SCI-indexed papers. He has also published over 10 textbooks on information security, including national-level planning textbooks such as "Introduction to Information Security," "Introduction to Information Security," and "Operating System Security." Li Jian has undertaken multiple projects, such as the National Natural Science Foundation, Cryptography Fund, and Beijing Natural Science Foundation, and participated in multiple national and other projects . He is the leader of the Anti Malware Technology Group of the China Internet Association, a senior member of the China Cryptography Society, and a senior member of the China Computer Society.
