KICS UET Fetches Project on Security of IoT Devices

KICS UET’s IRIL Lab carries various research projects and each of these projects is simply lucrative. The lab has funded projects from HEC and amongst the latest, ‘Security Audit Tools for IoT Devices’ is also funded by HEC National Center of Cyber Security (NCCS).

This project is all about security. The limitation in the existing security audit tools is the lack of their adaptation for IoT devices. IoT devices are more generic than traditional embedded devices. They may have a very small footprint, limited resources, and they can be heterogeneous in nature.

This project will develop an integrated open-source auditing tool to evaluate the security of hardware, firmware, software and communication of IoT devices. This commercial project is all set to bring industry and academia on one platform and will generate good revenue by cutting cost.
