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.
