Smart City IoT Applications


Every year more number of peoples are moving into cities for better living standards & Livelihood. By 2050 it’s expected that 70 % of world population will be living in cities. This rapid rise in urbanization has already put the existing infrastructure in strain. So to accommodate this new demand cities are innovating new technologies such as Internet of things to enhance their services & communication.

 These IOT equipment and technologies enable us to be smarter and make various aspects of cities more accessible and applicable and smarter. There’s a huge potential for IoT in every aspects of urban living. Here are some of the most important applications we would like to see in smart cities.

Smart Public Transport:

Internet of Things can provide us with real time insights of whenever there is a road closure, breakdowns or bad weather. With the help of IoT transport authorities can ensure public have access to safe, reliable and efficient transport in the city.

Smart Water Supply:

With use of smart devices and sensors, it will be easy to detect leakage and prevent water loss. Smart water monitoring applications can inform residents about their consumption and usage of water supply. This will prevent loss due to inefficiency and will boost productivity.

Smart Pollution & Weather Monitoring System:


Installing Air & Weather Sensors all around the city in every pivotal locations will help to determine the pollution level around the city. These data can be shared with the residents using IoT based applications which will allow them to map out places to plan their day out.

SATANA RANSOMWARE

Image
SATANA Trojan encrypts files and corrupts windows Master Boot Record (MBR) thus blocking the Windows boot process. SATANA behaves quite similarly like the notorious PetyaRansomware . Image Source To encrypt PC files, PETYA relies on the help of a tagalong Trojan called Mischa, while SATANA manages tasks on its own. Once the ransomware start running it disappears, and hides under a different name in the %TEMP% folder. Then after it will always prompt the user to download a malicious file until they click yes. Once the action starts, the malicious code will be written to the beginning of disk. After it installs and runs its malicious code, SATANA then waits for the computer to reboot. But the system won’t start instead it will show a screen with the ransom note, like most ransomware.

CRYPTOVIROLOGY

Cryptovirology is a field that studies and researches about various ways by which cryptography application can be used to design malicious software's. It investigates how modern cryptographic paradigms and tools can be used to strengthen, improve and develop new malicious software's for malware attacks. Cryptovirology is a forward engineering discipline that is primarily used for attacking rather defending. This field emerged with an observation that a public-key cryptography can be used to break the symmetry between what an antivirus analyst sees regarding a malware and what attacker observes. Antivirus analyst observes a public key contained in the malware whereas an attacker sees the public key contained in the malware as well as its corresponding private key outside the malware. This public key allows the malware to perform trapdoor function on victim's computer that attacker can only undo.
