Security-by-Design (SbD) for Internet-of-Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS):
Developing secure-by-design methodologies for IoT and CPS, integrating security from the ground up to address the complexities of interconnected, resource-constrained environments.
Hardware-Assisted Secure Blockchain for Healthcare CPS:
Utilizing Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) for device-level authentication and Blockchain for secure, tamper-proof data handling, enabling enhanced privacy and trust in healthcare CPS infrastructures.
Hardware-Rooted Trust for Deepfake Mitigation and Detection:
Investigating the use of PUFs and Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs) to authenticate devices, verify data provenance, and establish trusted media pipelines. This approach aims to combat deepfake generation and propagation by ensuring media authenticity at the hardware level.
Quantum Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technology (QDLT):
Exploring the integration of Blockchain, IOTA Tangle, and emerging Quantum-Computing-based DLTs that utilize quantum principles (e.g., quantum entanglement, quantum key distribution) to build next-generation decentralized, tamper-evident security frameworks.
Quantum Security for the Quantum Chain-of-Things (QCoT):
Advancing Quantum-Centric SbD approaches that leverage Quantum Computing and Quantum PUFs to address the future security needs of Quantum Chain-of-Things (QCoT) and Quantum Internet-of-Things (QIoT) ecosystems.
