Abstract

Miguel is exploring security solutions for Internet of Things and Cloud in his more recent work. He will present UpdaThing, a framework for IoT gateway updates; and GarlicStrap, a defense for vampire attacks in small sensors running Contiki. The SafeCloud project prototypes will also be presented, covering vulnerability-tolerant TLS, route hijacking detection and multi-path communication for security purposes.
