As much as we would like these security issues to go away, it’s really trending in the opposite direction—more systems are getting hacked, and the cost of a hack is skyrocketing. But that needn’t be the case if designers would implement the necessary steps to keep their systems safe (or at least, safer). At the Seventh Annual IoT Device Security Conference, we will dive into maintaining safety and security at each level of an IoT-connected device, from the sensor/MCU, all the way up to the Cloud and everything in between.
Dr. Lily (Lidong) Chen is a mathematician and NIST fellow. She served as the manager of Cryptographic Technology Group for more than a decade before she was selected as a NIST fellow in 2023. She has led the effort in developing cryptographic standards published in Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) and NIST Special Publications (SP). She is a pioneer in developing post-quantum cryptography standards and has been actively explored many advanced cryptography areas for standardization. Her research interests include cryptography, network security, and security in communications. Dr. Chen has actively contributed to cryptographic and security standards development by IEEE-SA, ISO, and other standards organizations. The book “Communication System Security” she co-authored has been used as textbook by many universities.
Mr. Adam Fraser has over 20 years of experience in cyber security, including areas such as software protection, software exploitation techniques, malware analysis, and intrusion response. He is currently the Chief Operating Officer at Star Lab Corp where he oversees operations to produce and service cyber security software for embedded systems.
Beginning his career in the United States Air Force, Adam served as a computer crime investigator where he resolved complex computer intrusion investigations impacting Air Force operations. He then went on to lead a group within the Air Force that researched and developed defensive and offensive capabilities.
After leaving the government, Adam has served in different roles within small and large companies, primarily focused on the research and development of cyber, cloud, and big data solutions.
Adam has a bachelor’s degree in computer science from Clemson University and is a Distinguished Graduate of the Air Force Institute of Technology where he received a master’s degree in computer science. Finally, Mr. Fraser has recently completed a post-graduate certificate program in machine learning and AI from the University of Texas.
Srinivas, CEO of Pantherun, brings a wealth of experience in cybersecurity, embedded product design, and high-throughput communication, with a career spanning over two decades in the semiconductor and tech industries. A computer science graduate, he began as an ASIC design engineer in the United States, gaining deep technical expertise that fueled his focus on creating secure, high-performance solutions.
Srinivas has successfully built and led two organizations dedicated to networking, consumer, and automotive sectors, holding leadership roles, including CEO, in companies that grew to over 600 employees and served clients in more than 40 countries. His expertise in designing secure, high-speed communication systems and embedded products has made him a recognized leader in industrial networking and cybersecurity.
In 2019, Srinivas co-founded Pantherun with a mission to advance encrypted data communication for edge computing, reinforcing his commitment to cybersecurity innovation. His leadership at Pantherun continues his track record of delivering secure, cutting-edge solutions for mission-critical applications in a constantly evolving digital landscape.
Dr. Shahram Mossayebi is the co-founder and CEO of Crypto Quantique, a London-based cybersecurity innovator specialising in secure, scalable solutions for embedded IoT devices. With a PhD in Post-Quantum Cryptography from Royal Holloway, University of London, Shahram brings a deep understanding of security challenges in IoT, particularly for high-stakes sectors like medical devices. He co-invented the QDID chip, which employs quantum tunnelling technology to create an unclonable identity, enhancing device security at a fundamental level.
Under his leadership, Crypto Quantique developed QuarkLink, a cross-platform security solution that significantly reduces the time and expertise required for secure device development. Designed with stringent regulatory requirements in mind, QuarkLink streamlines compliance for medical device makers by integrating essential features like secure boot, key management, and firmware updates—vital for meeting FDA, NHS, and EU security standards. Shahram’s vision is to empower medical device companies to implement robust security with greater speed and efficiency, ensuring safe and compliant products that serve both healthcare providers and patients.
