[TriLUG] New IEEE Internet of Things (IoT) SIG starting

[R Radford via TriLUG]

A brand new IEEE SIG for Internet of Things (IoT) will be hosting it's very
first meeting on December 2nd on NCSU campus.

I am very excited about this and thought that there was enough overlap in
the three groups targeted here (Triangle robotics, Triangle Embedded,
Triangle Linux) to hit all three groups.  I will send out one more reminder
as we get close to the event, but wanted to give everyone a chance to make
sure to get this on their calendar.

I hope to see you there.

IoT (Internet of Things) SIG (Special Interest Group) Launch

Topic: Security for Ambient Assisted Living Multi-factor Authentication in
the Internet of Things

Will describe mechanisms for achieving strong, multi-factor authentication
in Ambient Assisted Living environments. These mechanisms rely on
biometric-based technologies to provide information security and privacy in
the Internet of Things. The importance of user choice and ease of use of
authentication methods in achieving universal access to services in
assistive environments is described. Cryptographic algorithm and protocol
solutions that depend on a Public Key Infrastructure for the protection of
sensitive information are discussed. Lighter weight alternatives are then
proposed that use authenticated key exchange to combat phishing and other
attacks and provide mutual authentication and data confidentiality
