On March 4, 2014, Dr. Jeffrey Voas delivered a speech at National Chiao Tung University, and there were two topics covered: Information Assurance Considerations for Software Supply chains and 3rd Parties and The Tenets of Trust in Internet of Things (IoT).

Talk 1: Information Assurance Considerations for Software Supply chains and 3rd Parties

The notion of having 3rd party software and 3rd party assessors of that software is not novel. What is becoming more main-stream is the desire for a large quantity of current and future mobile app software to be malware-free. The question then becomes how likely is it that malware can be detected by 3rd party groups or individuals. This talk will discuss at a high level one approach to the problem based on a real military smartphone project for DARPA, and then we conclude if time permits to discuss malware genealogy and composability/interoperability issues that are core to the cyber security dilemma we face.

Talk 2: The Tenets of Trust in Internet of Things (IoT)

Internet of Things (IoT) is a different research opportunity than past efforts with distributed systems, communication networks, and systems-of-systems, bringing a great challenge into security and reliability management. In this talk, speaker introduces the Internet of Things (IoT), discuss the tenets of IoT and define security and privacy IoT issues.

Dr. Voas was also invited to participate in a seminar on Malware, Information Security and Reliability with the Ph.D. students in The Department of Computer Science. Dr. Voas engaged in the discussion and gave some dissertation advice. Some important results in the seminar will be published, and others are under review.
