Lydersen stressed that adding a device to an IoT network has to be done from the control station, meaning no one hiding outside could add a device—they would have to be listening precisely when an IoT network user was adding a device.

Adding more context to the technical side of things, Lydersen added devices that support S2 security aren’t vulnerable if an S0 key is stolen—only other S0 devices would be exposed.
