November 17, 2016 | MITRE Campus | McLean, VA
SPEAKER PRESENTATION: Eric Simmon, Senior Scientist, NIST
By the Year 2020, it is estimated that the number of objects and devices connected to the Internet of Things will be between 25 billion and more than 200 billion.
What current impact does the Internet of Things have on the Federal Government and how are agencies planning for the IoT explosion in the coming years?
Join MITRE and the Advanced Technology Academic Research Center for a morning of brainstorming and whiteboarding on a pair of Internet of Things topics of importance to the Federal Government.
The MITRE-ATARC Internet of Things Collaboration Symposium will features IoT subject matter experts from government, academia and private industry discussing:
1. IoT Security Challenges: Privacy, Trust, Identity and Anonymity
2. Enablement of IoT Analytics and Artificial Intelligence
The outcomes of these two interactive sessions will be compiled in a White Paper with recommendations to the government.

IoT CHALLENGE AREAS
1. IoT Security Challenges: Privacy, Trust, Identity and Anonymity
- How is security and trust managed in an IoT environment
- What level of automation / human intervention is appropriate in different contexts?
System Management
- How are device updates managed?
- How can device activities / functions over-ridden externally (or via direct connection)?
- How can devices be either physically tamper-resistant, or be aware of tampering (e.g. shut-down, stop transmitting, etc.)
- How can obsolete, uncontrollable, un-patchable devices be monitored, controlled, and mitigated?
Information Management
- How are information exchanges triggered? How are trusted parties identified?
- How can the network help provide security in an IoT system (e.g. traditional / emerging protections)?
- What techniques can be developed (or are already available) that support deterministic cyber security issues within IoT systems without any foreknowledge of the IoT system?

2. Enablement of IoT Analytics and Artificial Intelligence
Data Processing
- How should the data generated by IoT devices be processed?
- When should devices report aggregate or processed data vs raw data?
- What are the implications of aggregation on decision making and actuators?
Decision Making
- How can IoT be used to develop reliable information sources for event detection, resource location and identification, pattern recognition, and decision making?
Data Management
- How should data structures be addressed (e.g. unstructured vs. structured data)?
- How should data storage be addressed in terms of hardware, scalability?
- What data needs to be kept and how long does it need to be retained?
