Privacy, Security and Trust in the Internet of Neurons

摘要

Arpanet, Internet, Internet of Services, Internet of Things, Internet of Skills. What next? We conjecture that in a few years from now, we will have the Internet of Neurons, in which humans will be able to connect bi-directionally to the net using only their brain. The Internet of Neurons will provide new, tremendous opportunities thanks to constant access to unlimited information, but it will also bring along enormous challenges, especially concerning security, privacy and trust. In this paper we discuss the main technological (and neurological) breakthroughs required to enable the Internet of Neurons, the new opportunities it provides and the security challenges it raises. We also elaborate on the novel system models, threat models and security properties that are required to reason about privacy, security and trust in the Internet of Neurons.
