Talk title: Domain-Specific Fine-Grained Access Control for Cloud-Edge Collaborative IoT
Abstract:
The cloud-edge collaborative data sharing supporting data confidentiality can be realized by adopting outsourced Attribute-Based Encryption (ABE) schemes. Yet, most existing schemes in such kind of scenarios are facing challenges such as vulnerable terminal devices that are easy to be attacked, lack of flexible authorization management methods for a large number of devices, and lack methods to securely specify on-demand data sharing domains. In this paper, we propose a Domain-specific On-demand Access Control scheme with fully Independent Revocation (DOACIR), which not only realizes a three-layer on-demand data sharing framework for cloud-edge collaborative IoT environments but also allows data uploader to restrict the data sharing domain through a succinct way. The attribute authority and multiple edge servers perform data access authorization collaboratively to improve the data sharing efficiency as well as avoid the key-abuse problem and key-leakage problem. We further extend the scheme to support cross-domain data sharing, namely Cross-Domain DOACIR (CD-DOACIR), by improving the encryption phase allowing data uploader to specify any number of sharing domains while the size of ciphertext remains constant.

Keynote 3:
Dr. Feng Lin (Zhejiang University, China)
Talk title: Security for Cross-modality Acoustic IoT: Attack and Defense
Abstract:
Acoustic security is paramount in today's digital era, particularly as device interconnectivity accelerates through the Internet of Things (IoT). By protecting personal and confidential information, it upholds privacy and cultivates trust among users¡ªkey components for the continued evolution and uptake of voice-driven technologies. Expanding beyond traditional acoustic monitoring, cross-modality sensing enables the conversion of data across wireless, electromagnetic, and visual signals into auditory information. In this presentation, we will explore cutting-edge research in cross-modality acoustic security, tackling both offensive and defensive strategies. We will delve into the nuances of speech injection attacks and its defense, wireless side-channel eavesdropping, and multimodal authentication techniques.
