A review on Internet of Things Solutions for Intelligent Energy control in buildings for smart city applications KU Leuven
© 2017 The Authors. A smart city exploits sustainable information and communication technologies to improve the quality and the performance of urban services for citizens and government, while reducing resources consumption. Intelligent energy control in buildings is an important aspect in this. The Internet of Things can provide a solution. It aims to connect numerous heterogeneous devices through the internet, for which it needs a flexible ...
Elliptic Curve Cryptography with Efficiently Computable Endomorphisms and Its Hardware Implementations for the Internet of Things KU Leuven
© 2016 IEEE. Verification of an ECDSA signature requires a double scalar multiplication on an elliptic curve. In this work, we study the computation of this operation on a twisted Edwards curve with an efficiently computable endomorphism, which allows reducing the number of point doublings by approximately 50 percent compared to a conventional implementation. In particular, we focus on a curve defined over the 207-bit prime field $\mathbb {F}-p$ ...
AsTAR: Sustainable Energy Harvesting for the Internet of Things through Adaptive Task Scheduling Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre KU Leuven
Battery-free Internet-of-Things devices equipped with energy harvesting hold the promise of extended operational lifetime, reduced maintenance costs, and lower environmental impact. Despite this clear potential, it remains complex to develop applications that deliver sustainable operation in the face of variable energy availability and dynamic energy demands. This article aims to reduce this complexity by introducing AsTAR, an energy-aware task ...
Energy-efficient positioning for the Internet of Things University of Antwerp
Location data is required for a plethora of Internet of Things (IoT) applications running on billions of mobile devices worldwide. A few example applications include asset tracking, search-and-rescue operations and the scientific monitoring of air or water quality. Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs), such as Global Positioning System (GPS) or Galileo, have been established as the standard for worldwide localization. However, the rapidly ...
Internet of Things for enabling smart environments: A technology-centric perspective KU Leuven
© 2019 - IOS Press and the authors. All rights reserved. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a computing paradigm whereby everyday life objects are augmented with computational and wireless communication capabilities, typically through the incorporation of resource-constrained devices including sensors and actuators, which enable their connection to the Internet. The IoT is seen as the key ingredient for the development of smart environments. ...
WISE: A Lightweight Intelligent Swarm Attestation Scheme for the Internet of Things KU Leuven
The Internet of Things (IoT) is shaped by the increasing number of low-cost Internet-connected embedded devices that are becoming ubiquitous in every aspect of modern life, including safety- and privacy-critical application scenarios. Such devices offer limited or no security features, creating a large new attack surface. One key component in securing these devices is software integrity checking, which typically attained with Remote Attestation ...
Innovation and Consumer Protection in Internet of Things Ecosystems: Protecting End Users at the Crossroads between Consumer, Competition, and Data KU Leuven
The number of devices being connected to the internet is growing rapidly. This trend—referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT)—illustrates how everyday objects are gradually turned into smart devices. These smart devices are capable of collecting data from their surroundings and sharing those data over the internet. The development of the IoT raises several legal questions from a consumer protection perspective. First, the functionality of ...
