Is blockchain the answer to IoT security? – IoT Agenda
It is the Internet of Things, but with an enterprise angle. Take that to mean industry vertical applications, development ecosystems, product design, hardware, deployment and more.
Imagine this: An electric and autonomous Uber pulls up at a charging station on the side of the road. To receive the charge, the car is required to communicate and pay the station, while the station needs to trust that indeed it will be paid before it starts charging. The two machines need to communicate and transact with each other. In this not-so-distant future, how will authentication, authorization and trust between internet connected machines be established? One could think of a machine having a credit history and a trust score of some sort, based on past performance, that is auto-communicated between these IoT machines — determining authorization or denial.
The Internet of Things (IoT) world may be exciting, but there are serious technical challenges that need to be addressed, especially by developers. In this handbook, learn how to meet the security, analytics, and testing requirements for IoT applications.
