Securing the Internet of Things
summary
Compares IoT to a slow-motion train wreck and argues systems must be secured across the whole device life cycle, not just at design time. Describes consultancy work on Renesas Synergy and a product Secure Deploy that provisions per-device encrypted images to prevent cloning, giving OEMs a verified device count. Recommends concrete measures: hardware root of trust, measured boot, crypto accelerators, isolated execution, robust key provisioning, and remote update/rollback strategies for billions (5–20B) of devices.
