Title: Federated Learning: Privacy-preserving distributed machine learning in IoT
Abstract: Federated learning (FL) has attracted much interests as a distributed machine learning. Because of its features of high communication efficiency and privacy protection, many extensions have been proposed for various applications. This talk explains the basics of FL and its diverse extensions. Recent works of fully decentralized FL for IoT devices will also be presented.

Title: Toward Safe and Secure Embedded Devices: Research Trends and User-Centric Life Cycle Management
Abstract:
The recent embedded systems play an important role in IoT(Internet of Things) services and are connected to the Internet via smartphone, wifi, or 4G/5G network. Toward safe and secure embedded devices, the life-cycle management of them become mandatory and be improved.
In this presentation, I talk about fundamental knowledge for embedded system security including risk management, development process, and after-market operation like software update. Then I also introduce research trends and our recent activities such as fuzzing technique and blockchain-based device management which supports users and device developers easily to update software.
