Abstract: As cyber attacks are getting more intelligent and threatening, hardware-assisted security is getting more attention because hardware can serve as a firm foundation for security solutions. In this talk, an append-only storage and access-control memory are introduced, which are examples of hardware-assisted security techniques. In addition, it is presented how to address reliability issues of large-scale Internet-of-Things by adopting a security technique.

Dr. Junghee Lee received his B.S. and M.S. de-grees in Computer Engineering from Seoul National University in 2000 and 2003, respectively, and his Ph.D degree in Electrical and ComputerEngineering at Georgia Institute of Technology in2013. From 2003-2008, he worked at Samsung Electronics on electronic system level design of mobile system-on-chip. Since 2014, he is with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Texas at San Antonio as an assistant professor.
