Evaluation of the Security between NB-IoT devices and their Network

Executive Summary 5G priorities enable Machine-to-Machine and Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication objectives to be taken the next step by building in mechanisms for the IoT devices into the protocols. This opens the door for many more IoT devices and services to be brought online. This heterogeneous mix of devices will consist of new 5G New Radio […]

Safety and Security in Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet-of-Things Systems

Introduction Construction of a CPS requires a multi-dimensional team to ensure that it is constructed safely and securely. The authors Wolf and Serpanos [1] suggest a number of solutions for design and run-time analysis of the CPS, pulling from both hardware and software test and evaluation realms. The techniques seem reasonable for larger or more […]

Morals I didn’t understand why anyone would talk about ethics for robots: it’s a machine or group of machines controlled by 1s and 0s. It just didn’t click until I read the Aeon article [3].Smart Autonomous Robots, with the ability to learn, need to be guided to make desirable choices. In other words, SARs need […]
