Ignite AIoT: Trust & Security
Digital Trust – or trust in digital solutions – is a complex topic. When do users deem a digital product actually trustworthy? What if a physical product component is added, as in smart, connected products?
While security certainly is a key anbler of Digital Trust, there are many other aspects which are important, including ethical considerations, data privacy, quality and robustness (including reliability and resilience). Since AIoT-enabled products can have a direct, physical impact on the well-being of people, safety also plays an important role.
Safety traditionally is closely associated with Verification and Validation, which has its own, dedicated section in Ignite AIoT. The same holds true for robustness (see Reliability and Resilience).
Since security is such a key enabler, it will have its own, dedicated discussion here, followed by a summary of AIoT Trust Policy Management. Before delving into this, we first need to understand the AI and IoT-specific challenges from a security point of view.
