Rethinking IoT Security

With over 20 billion devices coming online by 2020 and an estimated 25 vulnerabilities per product, it’s no wonder that IoT security is a hot topic.  While acknowledging that encryption is not the complete answer, we maintain that data should be protected as it is created.  That’s why we engaged cryptographer and hardware security expert Dr. Andrea Miele, a researcher at Intel Labs, to see if he could deploy our libraries natively on an IoT device.  And he did!  Without modification he ran our _open toolkit on a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B  to encrypt and index on the device, enabling secure log data storage in the public cloud with wicked fast search and sharing operations.  We are working on our next-gen solution that will enable analytics to be run directly on the encrypted data for truly secure distributed computing.
