Project 11: Security and Privacy of the Communication Channels among IoT Devices REU Student: Tianbo Chen Graduate mentors: Safa Bacanli Faculty Mentor(s): Dr. Turgut and Dr. Zou Week 8 (July 10– July 14, 2017) Accomplishments: Wrote up four and half pages of the report in latex. Discussed improvements on the report with Dr. Turgut. Tried altering the edges of images to avoid Google’s vision API. Issues/problems encountered and solutions (if any): Attempted to use wavelet transform to blur the edges of an image. However, could not get the python package to work correctly. This could be due to lack of knowledge with how wavelets work. Plans for next week: Continue working on the edge modification with images Continue working on the report, specifically finding more related works to compare and contrast with NSF REU Research Experience on Internet of Things 2017
