Abstract

With the advancement of ubiquitous computing under the hood of Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), the number of connected devices is expected to grow exponentially in the following decade. Pervasive sensing is the backbone of any IoT/CPS application. Billions of connected devices each having multiple sensors will lead us to the age of trillion sensors. Widespread use of sensors in critical applications (e.g., smart grid, agricultural industry, food production, etc.) will present us with unique challenges. Identifying the threats well before they occur will be the key in the race against the threats posed by the adversaries in the age of trillion sensors (TSensors). In this paper, we present a detailed survey of the trends toward trillion sensors, and their applicability in recent connected applications. We identify several key areas, that need to be addressed to build a secure connected environment. There are several challenges and limitations as well which are expected to rise in the coming decade. We must be proactive in addressing those challenges to make a safe and secure environment.
