| Description | GEOSEC project with Ordnance Survey |
| Organisation | Ordnance Survey |
| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Public |
| PI Contribution | The GEOSEC project as collaboration between university of Surrey and Ordnance Survey started on 1/10/2016 for the duration of 3 years. The objective of the GEOSEC project is to analyse and model security and privacy weaknesses of existing techniques for location, place and geography information delivery (e.g. personal data disclosure, PII) and enabling trust in location based services (e.g. by proximity). Also the project aims to propose secure and privacy preserving solutions to enable geographic information about locations and places to be a trusted and integral part of the IoT information infrastructure. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Ordnance survey has a financial contribution around £360K to this project |
| Impact | not yet. |
| Start Year | 2016 |
| Title | Further development of ReCoPS demonstrator |
| Description | The various situation detection and analysis mechanisms have been integrated into a new autonomous robotic sensing platform (i.e. a SLAM robot) to collect autonomously environment data (including radio environment and magnetic fingerprint). |
| Type Of Technology | Physical Model/Kit |
| Year Produced | 2019 |
| Impact | The outcome is used as a collection tool for an advanced indoor localisation system. |
| Title | IoT data fusion tool |
| Description | The IoT data fusion tool allows the collection and initial analysis and fusion of data from different IoT sources. |
| Type Of Technology | Software |
| Year Produced | 2019 |
| Impact | The tool has been integrated into a SLAM robot developed to collect RF and magnetic fingerprint information. |
| Title | Magic Lense for the IoT Egg |
| Description | The Magic Lense is a mobile phone app (Android) providing a simple yet comprehensive user interface to access the IoT data collected by IoT Eggs using the Bluetooth wireless interface. The app can also be used to program the IoT Egg, for example setting the sample rate or user feedback options (i.e. the IoT Egg also hosts gesture and ranging sensors). Note: the IoT Egg forms part of the IoT-smart display campus testbeds in Surrey and Lancaster, part of the DiSSC project within PETRAS. |
| Type Of Technology | Software |
| Year Produced | 2016 |
| Impact | to this date the app is only used in experiments and exhibitions. |
| Title | ReCoPS technology demonstrator |
| Description | The demonstrator is a combination of hard and software set up to demonstrate the functionality of learning from situation analysis aboutthe context in public spaces such as the concourse or platform area of a railway station, the inside of a railway coach or of a bus. The demonstrator is a tool to investigate and test different learning and context analysis algorithms as well as the platform on which trials and deployments in a larger public space can be done. |
| Type Of Technology | Software |
| Year Produced | 2017 |
| Impact | The demonstrator was shown during the PETRAS stakeholder workshop in November 2017, and is currently being extended for a larger deployment on the Surrey University Campus, with the ultimate aim of trialling it on a railway station managed by the RDG. |

| Geographic Reach | National |
| Primary Audience | Professional Practitioners |
| Results and Impact | Here is the talk abstract: Security and privacy provisioning have evolved considerably in mobile networks from GSM to 5G. However, 5G aims to provide connectivity for challenging applications such as ultra-reliable low latency (uRLLC) , one example here is the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) application, also the enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB): Defined as an extension to existing 4G broadband services, one example is live streaming (multicasting and broadcasting). The talk presented the current security practices in all the protocols stack layer. The 4G and 5G security architecture were presented and show an approach to better support the uRLLC and eMBB services. The security feature for IoV and live streaming also presented in more details to highlight the links with 4G/5G security. Finally the talk finished with final thoughts and looking into the future (6G) such as using Machine Learning to automate security and physical layer security |
