Implementing BLE Security in IoT Applications
One of the biggest challenges while designing Internet of Things (IoT) applications is security. IoT devices talk over the air and can potentially expose all control and status information, as well as private user data. Instead of making lives easier, unsecured IoT devices potentially put human life and assets at risk. Imagine someone hacking into a home lighting control system to track when users are home and then breaking into the house. Or imagine someone trying to forge your identity and use to it to open your smart lock.
Mechanism to hide device’s identity from unauthorized devices: Identity protection is essential to safeguard users from someone tracking their physical location. Without sufficient protection, IoT devices put users at risk of a privacy breach and possible physical or financial threat. It’s similar to someone following you based on your car’s registration number.
