The Internet of (Better) Things
summary
Argues that current IoT fails on security, privacy and interoperation with concrete examples: fitness trackers used as legal evidence, Revolve-bricked devices leaving homes dead, a network-dependent cat feeder offline and tiny chips with entropy-poor randomness that break TLS. Shows how flaky firmware updates and cheap Linux stacks enable DDoS and remote root, proposes standards-first fixes: local peer-to-peer broadcast control, simpler crypto primitives, shared protocols and higher-level languages (MicroPython/Python) to reduce vulnerabilities.
