LoRaWAN Encryption Keys Easy to Crack, Jeopardizing Security of IoT Networks
2020-01-28 12:02

Researchers are warning that while LoRaWAN itself is perfectly secure, poor device security and user mistakes in configuration and implementation can still lead to hacks and widespread operational disruption. The application-layer security is responsible for confidentiality, with end-to-end encryption between the device and the application server, preventing third parties from accessing the application data being transmitted.

IoT device manufacturers must also provide a public point of contact so that anyone can report a flaw, to be "Acted on in a timely manner;" and, manufacturers must also explicitly state the minimum length of time for which devices will receive security updates at the point of sale. The regulation was developed by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport after an extensive consultation period that kicked off in May 2019, when the U.K. announced it was accepting regulatory proposals for IoT security regulation.

Why blockchain-based cybersecurity may be the answer for vulnerable IoT networks
2020-01-17 18:46

CES 2020: A "Hacked" robot was on display to demonstrate how SigmaDots serverless architecture is poised to fend off IoT security threats. How the IoT devices work, basically the IoT solution is based on a very low-power CPU that is running the software, communicating through a gateway to the cloud and application.
