Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity research seeks to address the enabling keystone technologies that ensure the security of connected systems.
In the future of smart cities, secure connected infrastructure will be of critical importance. In the next 5-10 years, the cybersecurity theme seeks to develop secure technologies and solutions for all levels of infrastructure, from secure devices, reliable & resilient connectivity, and secure virtual & dynamic networks to secure cyber-physical systems and secure cloud storage, computation and data analytics.
