| Project Title: | Trusted Low-Frequency Long-Range Communication for Secure IoT Applications |
| Hosting Institution: | LSCM R&D Centre (LSCM) |
| Abstract: | The project aims to implement a trusted low-frequency and long-range secure IoT network in urban and suburban areas. This initiative is necessary because the existing wireless transmission systems face challenges such as signal interference from highdensity obstacles like skyscrapers and disruptions during severe weather conditions. In densely populated urban regions, wireless signal transmission is hindered, while cellular communication reach is limited in suburban areas. As a result, multiple gateways are required, leading to high infrastructure costs. Moreover, the project recognizes the concern of physical tampering, especially the risk of device cloning. To ensure the integrity of the system and prevent unapproved access or replication of devices, it is important to enhance security measures. Therefore, the project aims to address communication challenges and enhance security by a trusted low-frequency and long-range communication with Zero-Knowledge-Proofing (ZKP) in urban and suburban areas. The project aims to deploy trial site deliverables as follows: - Develop a private low-frequency wireless routing network - Develop a sensor routing network and status management system - Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP)-based method to alert user on stability and security threats - Improve System Security and Reliability using China Components The successful implementation of these deliverables in the trial sites will demonstrate the project's progress and seamless migration from the existing network infrastructure. This achievement will serve as proof of the project's effectiveness, fostering improved safety and communication in urban and suburban areas. |
