Smart Technologies have a significant impact on way of human-life and offer promising solutions to the growing challenges of Urbanization. Smart Technologies encompass connected devices such as Internet-of-Things (IOTS), Big-Data Analytics (BG) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). IoTs generate enormous amounts of data, which requires Big-Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence to process and make decisions related to Application.

Centre for Smart City Technology at IIITS Sri City aims to enable the research and development of Smart City Technology. The Center has made Smart Technology as its objective to meet the goals set forward by the Central and State Governments of India. To accomplish its objective a pilot Smart City Project is planned and is to be implemented at Sri City. Find below the 5 focus areas of the Smart City Project:

Smart Security and Access
The objective is to enhance the safety and security of personal human and automobile movements, with a secured access, inside Sri City. The implementation would include installing Fibre-Optic Hi-Speed Network, Wi-Fi enabled Central Monitoring System and Wi-Fi enabled ‘Smart-Poles’, each hosting Multiple Iots.

Smart Electric Meters and Smart Grid
The objective is to deliver and manage electric resources by monitoring the consumption pattern, fault-detection, load-balance and bills to industries and consumers of Sri City. The implementation would include installing Smart Electric Meters, Wi-Fi enabled Central Monitoring System and Smart Grid Management.

Smart Water Meters and Smart Pipeline
The objective is to deliver and manage water resources by monitoring the consumption pattern, leakage-detection, resource-balance and bills to industries and consumers of Sri City. The implementation would include installing Smart Water Meters, Wi-Fi enabled Central Monitoring System and Smart Management Facility.

Smart Public Transport and Automobile Safety
The objective is to enable fleet management and traffic management, enhance passenger and automobile safety, estimate waiting-period and employ smart billing. The implementation would include installing GPS enabled and GIS integrated Automobile Tracking Systems and Wi-Fi enabled Smart Applications and Services.

Smart Money
The objective is to develop a smart device, which would replace all other forms of financial transactions, at all business points inside Sri City. The implementation would include developing a Smart Card, which can be used by all Point-of-Sale Devices.

Additionally, The Center for Smart Technology also plans to provide low cost broad-band to communities nearby Sri City. This is done by creating women entrepreneurship and getting local women to distribute the broad-band to local Households and Corporates.

Urban growth and migration are putting significant stress on the city infrastructure as demand for resources, transportation, healthcare, education, safety and security. Every innovation in these sectors try to turn the city into a better place to live in using of information and communication technologies. Interoperable environments play an important role as it provides efficient solutions to connect different services by creating new systems that are able to provide a bigger variety of information to its users. In such scenarios, a new range of challenge rises; and information security is one of the most important challenges to provide the security and trustable services. In addition, reducing the costs and deliver the quality of services to the citizens are most important features in information and communication technology.

Our mission is to develop smart methods and subsystems to handle privacy-preserving access control policies, which would deliver trustworthy Internet of Things (IoT) systems. These systems are expected to be pluggable subsystem, which could be integrated with the existing or independent IoT frameworks to enable efficient access control services. Such frameworks are expected to be configurable with minimal efforts so as to transform the access control policies quickly implementable and practicable applicable in real time environments. Also we plan to benchmark these frameworks to ensure the scalability of the proposed privacy-preserving techniques for IoT system.

Our research group is focussed on developing the following approaches for Internet-of-Things:

• Dynamic attribute-based authentication approaches.
• Dynamic privacy-preserving approaches.
• Efficient methods to compute reputation scores of participants.
• Dynamic and scalable attribute-based access control policies.
• Trustworthy policies that preserve data interoperability across multiple platforms.
• Explore options to make the subsystems based on an independent framework.
• Threat Intelligence ontology, governance risk and compliance, policy management
• Block chain technology, distributed security systems, group authentication protocols

Research Impact:Policy and security management are not trivial tasks for both IoT and virtualized networks. These tasks efficiently and economically handle IoT traffic in large networks. In IoT and virtualized networks, an industry driven technology has been adapted in which each IoT vendor produces their own IoT platform. Most of the IoT solutions are case-centric and result in checking the interoperability for sharing data and user profiles. Application of IoT can support enrichment of meta-data for data interoperability and data sharing policy management aspects. This has a huge impact on various domains like health status monitoring, traffic monitoring, environment analysis and other intelligence tasks applicable in smart cities.
