Security & Privacy in Mobile Networks, The Role of Semantics
Channel: Josef Noll
Date: 2012-03-17

This video contains a short summary of the Lecture: "Semantics in Mobile Networks" of the UNIK4250 course "Security in distributed systems". The talk addresses why the mobile phone is your representation in the digital world, your key for access, your wallet for payments, and your gateway for all the sensors in your surrounding. 

The main focus is on security and privacy. Seeing that the phone contains all the information, the challenge of keeping your privacy and anonymity is obvious. The talk suggests that policies on the mobile phone itself will adopt to the current context, and release only the information being necessary for that content.

The talk extends the world of sensors into the Internet of Things (IoT), and postulates the need for a measurable security of sensor systems in the IoT.

The talk ends with the postulation that Semantic Technologies are the key technologies for integration of the heterogeneous aspects, and that policies will help to achieve personalised, context-aware and secure services. - More information at http://cwi.unik.no/wiki/UNIK4250
