Lightweight Cyber Security in Pervasive Computing Environment

Security is protection of information assets through use of technology, processes, and training. Cyber is a prefix used to describe an idea as part of the computer and information age. Combining the two terms, Cyber security implies protection of systems, networks, and data in cyber space. Pervasive devices have the capability to think, control and take decisions for a given task. Deployment of pervasive devices in unattended environment makes the network as well as device vulnerable to a variety of potential attacks. But at the same time pervasive computing devices as well as applications are extremely power and resource constrained. In such an environment traditional cyber security techniques are difficult to implement. So this research work explore on the core measures that need to be incorporated for lightweight cyber security.
