How to ensure security and privacy in smart city context? – With a wider range of IoT devices being used, which corresponds to a larger flow of information being received or sent within modern smart cities, there is a need to look for methods, design and operating principles that minimize the risks to the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of the data. Join us in an engaging Webinar that will be held on the 28th of October, between 09:00am and 10:30am CET (Brussels Time), free of charge, through the following link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87374068597, as part of the M-Sec project, an EU-Japan collaborative project. Our experts Aamir Bokhari, from YNU, Arturo Medela, from TST, and Akira Tsuge, from Keio, will present fact-based objective information on their research to reach a truly-secured IoT system in the framework of the M-Sec project. The presentation will focus on 3 important topics: the role of IoT in smart cities, associated threats and risks, and some approaches to ensure security and privacy in a smart city. Your opinion matters! We want to have your feedback on how our experts can overcome the problems they are currently facing and your opinion on what you think can be the future developments for better ensuring the secure use of a wider range of IoT devices.

How to accommodate the secure delivery of hyper-connected city data between users? – In the scope of the M-Sec Project, a team of researchers is building a middleware system for high-throughput city data streams, in order to overcome the limitations of other more centralized approaches of IoT architectures. Join us in an engaging Webinar that will be held on the 11th of November, between 09:00am and 10:30am CET (Brussels Time), free of charge, through the following link:  https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81659964569, as part of the M-Sec Project, an EU-Japan collaborative project. Our experts Levent Gurgen, from CEA, Antonis Litke, from ICCS, and Jin Nakasawa, from Keio, will present fact-based objective information on their research on innovative ways to integrate all security levels of the M-Sec platform, by providing a basic set of services (e.g. lifecycle management, service level agreements monitoring, …). CEA’s sensiNact platform and Keio’s SOX platform will be presented as examples of this integration. Your opinion matters! We want to have your feedback on how our experts can overcome the problems they are currently facing and your opinion on what you think can be further developments for better ensuring the secure delivery of city data.
