Title of the Talk: IoT Security: Challenges and Emerging Solutions
Abstract:
IoT (Internet of Things) devices are becoming ubiquitous, and are enabling automation in both businesses, homes, and city infrastructure. Many such devices are internet-enabled, and increasingly are connected via cellular networks. In this talk, challenges in IoT security are discussed along with a focus on secure onboarding as a potential solution. Onboarding is the process of connecting a new or reconditioned device to a network. Onboarding is a critical aspect of enabling remote device management. IoT devices unfortunately are difficult to onboard, oftentimes due to a lack of intuitive user interface and limited processing capabilities. Therefore, many device vendors have tried to streamline the process to allow for device onboarding upon first power-up with little to no user intervention (“zero-touch onboarding”). However, if the onboarding process is not secure then the devices themselves can be vulnerable to compromise. In addition, the roles of device authentication and remote attestation in secure onboarding are discussed.
