Presentation: HoozAround: Building an Internet of People City
The presentation makes the case for an Internet of People (IoP). Whilst fully accepting that the Internet of Technology (IoT) has been and will continue to be a prime mover in the development of technology and universal communication, it demonstrates how the Internet and human communications through virtual communities has led to serious issues in human relationships and how technology has forgotten the importance of face-to-face (F2F) dialogue and contact. As technology advances, people should become the focus of moulding our technology needs. The author is concerned that otherwise the future developments in technology, especially in virtual communities and AI will fail to serve the real needs of humanity. It is important that the IoP is developed and acts in balance to the IoT.
The presentation also introduces a new mobile app, Hoozaround, which was inspired by the IoP principles. Using proximity awareness and profile matching, it connects people face-to-face with similar interests in their immediate vicinity both indoors and outdoors, in real-time. The app is the basis for a new model for developing people-driven smart cities, called People-Connected Cities.

IF06 – IOT Security: Issues and Challenges for Mass Market Deployment
Download IF06 Presentations (ZIP)
With estimated 50 billion connected IoT devices to the Internet via heterogeneous networks and cloud platforms by the year 2020, security seems to be the biggest concern in the industry today. One of the major issues is that there is currently no industry wide consensus on how to implement and enforce security in the constrained devices satisfying both mass-market deployment requirements and cost. Traditional Internet-based security techniques and best industry practices require substantial re-engineering to address the device constraints issues and its end-less variety of applications. A large number of industry organizations consisting of silicon vendors, device manufacturers and service providers are working very hard to solve the issues and challenges for last few years.
In this panel, panelists will discuss several such issues: secure onboarding and commissioning, authentication, access control, and Over-the-air (OTA) secure update. Panel will also highlight industry advances and its challenges in providing end-to-end security solution throughout the device life cycle in several vertical IoT markets and its readiness for the mass-market deployment.
This panel consists of IoT security experts from leading industries, service provider and research organizations who are actively involved in researching and developing security solutions targeting the IoT markets. The audience will benefit from knowing the IoT security issues and challenges, industry trends, what to look for before deployment along with the opportunity to interact with the industry experts.
