Wireless Internet Of Things-Based Air Quality Device For Smart Pollution Monitoring

Living in a healthy environment is a need for every human being whether indoor or outdoor. However, pollutions occur everywhere and most people are merely mindful of the importance of having clean outdoor air to breathe and are not concerned about the indoor air quality. Indoor air quality refers to the quality within the building, and relates to the health and comfort of the building occupants. Dangerous particles exist in the outside air, pollute the indoor environment and produce harmful conditions as the polluted air travels into the house or building through windows or doors. Therefore, a wireless Internet of Things-based air quality device is developed to monitor the air quality in the indoor environment. The proposed system integrates a low-cost air quality sensor, temperature and humidity sensors, a single-board computer (Raspberry Pi 2 microprocessor) and cloud storage. The system provides real-time air quality reading, transfers the data through a wireless network to the Internet and displays the data in dedicated webpage. Furthermore, it stores records in cloud storage and sends e-mail notification message to the user when unhealthy condition is met. The study has a significant impact on promoting affordable and portable smart pollution monitoring system as the development of the device utilizing low-cost and off-the-shelf components

Cyber-Security Incidents: A Review Cases In Cyber-Physical Systems

Cyber-Physical Systems refer to systems that have an interaction between computers, communication channels and physical devices to solve a real-world problem. Towards industry 4.0 revolution, Cyber-Physical Systems currently become one of the main targets of hackers and any damage to them lead to high losses to a nation. According to valid resources, several cases reported involved security breaches on Cyber-Physical Systems. Understanding fundamental and theoretical concept of security in the digital world was discussed worldwide. Yet, security cases in regard to the cyber-physical system are still remaining less explored. In addition, limited tools were introduced to overcome security problems in Cyber-Physical System. To improve understanding and introduce a lot more security solutions for the cyber-physical system, the study on this matter is highly on demand. In this paper, we investigate the current threats on Cyber-Physical Systems and propose a classification and matrix for these threats, and conduct a simple statistical analysis of the collected data using a quantitative approach. We confirmed four components i.e., (the type of attack, impact, intention and incident categories) main contributor to threat taxonomy of Cyber-Physical System
