Smart Campus: Trends in cybersecurity and future development

Abstract

Smart Campus is an entity of any kind that uses technology and infrastructure to support and improve its processes, so people can use them better. This paper reviews the literature to contextualize the Internet of Things and its vital importance for the Smart Campus, as well as its relationship with the concepts of cybersecurity and wireless sensor network. We describe the various interrelationships, tendencies, and future development of a Smart Campus, as well as the differences and similarities with the emerging concept of Smart University. This review revealed that the Internet of Things is involved in all fields and can influence and improve the university’s processes to contribute to decision-making, technological development, and academic learning. To conclude, Smart University focuses on improving the infrastructure of universities through technology, with the main purpose of enhancing the quality of the education provided by institutions.

Smart campus: a user case study in Hong Kong

“…For example, intruders may get access to the campus data and perform attacks because the cyber system of a campus is usually open. A solution for mitigating the attack issues could be increasing the data redundancy and protection against denial‐of‐service attacks [36]. The data system in a smart campus needs to meet the requirements of confidentiality, authenticity, integrity, and availability.…”

Smart campus: definition, framework, technologies, and services

“…For example, the communication networks of smart campus are easy to be unsafe because the cyber system of the campus is usually open, so it is easy for intruders to get access to the campus data and perform attacks. A solution approach for the attack issues could be increasing the data redundancy and protection against denial‐of‐service attacks [60]. Moreover, since a large number of sensory devices and wireless communication technologies are widely deployed over the campus cyber system, there will be an increasing chance of sensitive data being leaked or destroyed during transmission.…”

“…Por lo tanto, la metodología empleada se describe en los siguientes pasos: primero la construcción del estado de arte de los modelos, tecnologías, análisis de términos y conceptos sobre jardines botánicos inteligentes, nuevas tendencias de los jardines botánicos a nivel nacional e internacional [38], [39]. Posteriormente, se hizo la definición de los requerimientos funcionales y no funcionales que permitieran la virtualización del jardín botánico Jorge Enrique Quintero Arenas.…”

“…Los sistemas que pueden integrar estrechamente componentes físicos con virtuales han representado una prioridad de investigación y desarrollo en el área de las TIC. Se ha concentrado un trabajo intensivo en diferentes dominios, tales como: Internet of Things [40], Internet of Services y, últimamente, en el dominio de Cyber Physical Systems, cuyo importante impulsor está representado por la integración a gran escala de los mundos físico y cibernético [41], es por eso que dentro de la universidad Francisco de Paula Santander Ocaña se desea integrar las nuevas tecnologías sin afectar el medio ambiente, generando diversos cambios en la forma de aprendizaje y ayudando a mejorar los procesos que se llevan a cabo en la granja experiemental [42], [38], [43].…”
