Solution providers must go beyond mobile devices’ inadequate built-in security mechanisms while also ensuring the necessary “always-on” connectivity for reliably exchanging safety-critical data and commands between smartphone apps, the IoT devices and the cloud.
IoT Deployments of Any Size Can Now Be Protected with Pre-provisioned Hardware-based Secure Elements
The IoT has massively broadened the potential threat landscape for the entire market. To mitigate this vulnerability, industry best practices dictate that the authentication model of the connected device be strengthened using a secure element that has been configured for storing private keys and handling crypto-algorithmic secrets. Unfortunately, due mostly to supply chain logistic constraints, this approach has been challenging to onboard for most small-to-medium sized deployments.
