A team of researchers in Carnegie Mellon University's CyLab have developed a prototype IoT security and privacy "Nutrition label" that performed well in user tests.

To develop the label, the team consulted with a diverse group of 22 security and privacy experts across industry, government, and academia.

The team also developed an IoT label generator for manufacturers to use to easily create labels for their devices.

"Despite these concerns, people cannot find information about the privacy and security practices of devices at the moment of purchase," says Emami-Naeini.

Serving as a backdrop to the development of an IoT security label, privacy regulations are calling for more transparency in how consumer data is collected and used.
