Table 4: IoT Security Initiatives – Membership (Region vs Domain)
At the same time there are numerous national research
initiatives, typically at university level, focusing on IoT
security. Notable examples include the PETRAS 83 research
hub formed by a group of U.K. universities led by University
College London.
4.2
APPLICATION-SPECIFIC INITIATIVES
Many pilots address IoT security in the narrower context of
a specialised application domain such as automotive or
healthcare84, often under domain-specific names such as
"intelligent transportation", “smart mobility”, "smart grid",
or "e-health". In the automotive domain, notable examples
include the Centre of Excellence for Testing and Research
of Autonomous Vehicles (CETRAN)85 at the Nanyang
Technological University in Singapore and the Security
Credential Management System (SCMS)86 of the U.S.
Department of Transportation. Enterprise Singapore has
published a set of provisional national standards, known as
Technical Reference (TR) 68, to guide industry in the
development and deployment of fully autonomous vehicles
in Singapore. The TR includes cybersecurity principles and
assessment methodology.

A vehicular IoT technology that is already widely deployed is
the EU-wide eCall initiative87, intended to bring rapid
assistance to motorists in the event of a crash by
communicating the vehicle’s location and direction to
emergency services; eCall has been mandatory for all new
cars sold within the EU since April 2018.
The Smart Mobility Working Group of AIOTI88 has done
substantial work detailing the application of IoT principles
to connected vehicles. Intelligent Transportation Systems
(ITS) groups worldwide, particularly ERTICO89 in Europe, are
involved in a number of pilot projects in the area of smart
mobility. ERTICO has also released recommendations90 on
communication technologies for future Cooperative ITS
(C-ITS) scenarios. At the same time, consumer privacy is
a concern in automotive IoT applications; the American
Future of Privacy Forum91 and National Automobile Dealers’
Association (NADA) have published a consumer guide92
highlighting the types of data that connected cars collect
and transmit.
In healthcare, efforts include in-home monitoring services
for the elderly 93 from Fujitsu and Panasonic, the M.A.I.L.
(Motion capture and Artificial Intelligence assisted
Liposuction)94 system from Korean plastic surgery provider
365mc, and remote monitoring and management of in-vitro
diagnosis (IVD) devices95 by Roche Diagnostics96 in China.
Cybersecurity concerns have naturally begun to emerge: in
2015, the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ordered
hospitals to stop using the Hospira Symbiq infusion pump,
which delivers medications directly into the bloodstream,
