Research to Focus on Privacy and Security of ‘Smart Things’ in the Home
BALTIMORE — Morgan State University has been selected to join a team of seven academic institutions that will work together on a national research project to increase the security and privacy of high-tech products used in smart homes.
The five-year program to develop trustworthy devices and systems in the home is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through the Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace Frontiers (SaTC Frontiers), a cross-cutting program to address fundamental scientific challenges related to privacy and cybersecurity.
The project—Security and Privacy in the Lifecycle of IoT for Consumer Environments (SPLICE)—comes as households expand their reliance on smart products ranging from refrigerators to baby monitors.
Dartmouth, who serves as the lead institution for the $10 million project award, organized the program team and will coordinate its research and educational activities.
The program will develop technology and design principles related to smart homes.
