Security, Privacy and Trust in IoT Center of Excellence Panel

Session Abstract:

A panel discussion hosted by Dipto Chakravarty, Chairman of the IoT Community’s Security, Privacy and Trust in IoT Center of Excellence

In Healthcare: TRUST Equates to VALUE

This discussion will provide insights into how and why the emergence of a new dominant design of healthcare is accelerating in environments where trusted knowledge is used to enable business model reinvention. Dipto Chakravarty, (Amazon), Ted DellaVecchia (Symbotix), Kerry Shih (Ripl) collaborate to openly explore a thesis.

In healthcare where data challenges have contributed to consumer apathy, clinical practitioner burnout, and other challenges to a healthier society, it is evident that nascent use of digital expressions of knowledge are obstacles to significant advancements.
In broader industries where data security shortcomings have contributed to data leaks and insider threats, identity thefts and other challenges to a secure and safe society, it is evident that abuse of Trust are obstacles to progress.

Thesis:
As the IoT becomes a pervasive part of our connected society, permeating across smart-edge ecosystems, we must responsibly enable its adoption in not only healthcare delivery or validating patients but also all forms of clinical knowledge-to-consumer interactions. In the connected society, users are interacting with devices for authentication and authorization via swipes or replacing passwords. So, we are enforcing Trust in every layer of the technology stack. We suggest that a trusted, interoperable information sharing protocol becomes the pivot point to enable non-traditional modalities of healthcare and generating critical aspects of value for all.

Key Elements of the Thesis we will Explore Together:

  • Codependent Interrelationships between three dimensions of distributed data (IoT, Edge, etc.)
  • Confidential Computing, Privacy, and Secure Context
  • What is an interoperable information sharing trust protocol?
  • Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) and Zero Trust
  • Blockchain and distributed ledger
  • Why TRUST = VALUE
