The Seven Properties of Highly Secure IoT Devices

Explore the critical aspects of IoT device security in this 30-minute talk by Dr. David Tarditi from Microsoft. Delve into the seven key properties of highly secure IoT devices: hardware-based root of trust, small trusted computing base, defense in depth, compartmentalization, certificate-based authentication, security renewal, and failure reporting. Gain insights into their implications at both hardware and software levels, using an off-the-shelf MCU with an on-chip security coprocessor as a practical example. Learn about guidelines and best practices for making informed decisions regarding hardware and software security choices, even without being a security expert. Understand how to address security concerns in IoT solutions, covering aspects such as hardware, connectivity, cloud infrastructure, and integration with third-party applications.
