…”Internet security, privacy, and authentication aren’t new issues, but IoT presents unique security challenges.
As industrial applications drive the next major growth phase of the Internet of Things (IoT), there are growing concerns about how the data that flows through its ecosystems is created, validated, protected, transported, shared, and analyzed. Cryptography is the foundation for addressing these issues, but many vendors concentrate on building market share by paring costs rather than implementing security. As a result, many IoT devices are inadequately protected from hacking, which threatens the security of the IoT ecosystem and other networks to which it connects.”
