Training Courses

Eurosmart's module on "Security and privacy in the Machine-to-Machine ecosystem" – in London (June 2010) and Sophia Antipolis (September 2010)

 

As part of its education mission, Eurosmart has participated in Smart University 2010 programme. Smart University's organises training modules on the latest advances in ICTs.

 

Through these training courses, organised in London and Sophia Antipolis in 2010, our objective was to explain the state-of-the-art technology and illustrate it through case studies.

 

 

Abstract of the module

With millions of machines communicating with other machines, the M-to-M technology is still in its early stages. Environmental concerns, government regulations, rapid deployment of wireless networks will undoubtedly accelerate the take up of wireless M-to-M ecosystems covering a wide range of applications in our professional and personal everyday life. While M-to-M technologies will be deployed to match convenience, other factors like the complexity of the value chain, reliability, cost optimisation, privacy and security are still raising questions.

For instance, with no human secret like a PIN code, with less possibility of controlling deviations on the spot, it is likely that there will be more security challenges when deploying M-to-M technologies compared to more traditional Human-to-Machine (H2M) technologies. With more than 10 years experience in the security industry and 2 years research on M to M technologies, Eurosmart share its findings on the key part of the M-to-M ecosystem which goes from the data acquisition up to data transmission, with a focus on security technologies to limit risks while respecting privacy. This session is also a way to anticipate another major technological development: Internet of Things.

 

 

Key topics:

All technologies from interfacing with the analog world up to the transmitting data to application servers: M2M module (modem), analog interface (detectors, sensors, MEMs); Silicon Packaging; O/S, application software, personnalisation; Wireless network: (2G, 3G, 4G/LTE) and Data exchange. Security and privacy. Internet of things.
