This project aims to propose novel privacy preserving schemes that can protect the privacy of individuals in the era of Internet of things and machine learning. In the recent years, most Australian organizations have been a target of privacy and cybersecurity attacks, affecting their data and network systems. The expected outcomes of this project are privacy preserving schemes that can prevent attackers from compromising the private information of individuals in IoT and machine learning services, and thus significantly improve the protection against cybersecurity attacks. Significant benefits in social wellbeing and security are expected for all industry, government, and service sectors that collect data about people.Read moreRead less
Lightweight security framework for Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN). This project aims to design and implement a lightweight security framework for Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN). Smart cities are estimated to have a worldwide market value of US$1.5 trillion by 2020, and LPWAN will provide connectivity to 90% of low bandwidth, smart city applications such as smart metres and smart buildings. Many of these applications are deployed in mission-critical infrastructure such as airport, trai ....Lightweight security framework for Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN). This project aims to design and implement a lightweight security framework for Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN). Smart cities are estimated to have a worldwide market value of US$1.5 trillion by 2020, and LPWAN will provide connectivity to 90% of low bandwidth, smart city applications such as smart metres and smart buildings. Many of these applications are deployed in mission-critical infrastructure such as airport, train station, hospital and government campuses, which have strong security requirements. Before the ubiquitous deployment of such new technology, a strong security framework needs to be developed and implemented to minimise enormous economic and social consequences of future malicious attacks to LPWAN.Read moreRead less

Satellite links form an essential part of broadband connectivity to rural and remote areas. Effective use of the internet over satellite links is therefore essential if B2B (Business-to-Business) and B2C (Business-to-Consumer) E-commerce is to develop in these areas. In many application networks, particularly virtual private networks (VPN), secure transmission is important to avoid fraud and maintain privacy.
Satellite links introduce a long delay (latency) in the transmission path and existing secure internet protocols do not handle this well. This is because in many situations, it is a requirement that the secure connection be implemented not only independently of the
satellite service provider but also in a reliable and efficient way.
This project will develop new practical solutions so that secure and reliable end-to-end connections can be provided over the satellite links.
