Smarter Cities Demand Smarter Security, Adel S. Elmaghraby and Michael Losavio ,The University of North Carolina

Abstract:
Smart Cites and the Internet of Things inextricably weave networked computation into the lives of billions. They thus become woven into the political life of the City. Yet there seems a blithe indifference to the security implications for the daily, mundane affairs of people. We examine how things might go wrong, how things might be righted and the questions of accountability needed in this human system of computation. Essentially a smarter perspective on what affects security in a new paradigm is needed.
