Who am I - why am I here today?

Aaron ArdiriIoT enthusiast and Chief Technology Officer - Evothings AB!

I started programming assembler in 1988 before the age of the personal computer and have since been involved heavily at all levels (development and management) of mobile technology both on a professional level and as a hobby to always stay in touch with the leading edge.

Internet of ThingsMarket Concerns

IoT: Standards War

… or in reality the lack of Standard!

✤ every company fighting to have position in standards!✤ minimal collaboration between key parties!✤ “not invented here” syndrome, intellectual property!

✤ IEEE pushing to introduce standard!✤ too little too late, proprietary solutions everywhere

IoT: Standards War

Hyper/Cat

IoT: Security

… or in reality the lack of Security!

✤ 70% of IoT devices vulnerable (HP)!✤ no password or common defaults!✤ failure to provide software update mechanism!✤ many 0-day exploits in underlying OS found daily

2014 - April Open SSL aka: heartbleed2014 - September Bourne-Again Shell aka: shellshock

IoT: Security

… so why is lack of security so rampant?!

✤ maker based community!✤ a number of projects are based on hobby hacks!

✤ SSL/TLS!✤ many micro-controllers have limited CPU / RAM!✤ existing libraries are not optimised for embedded
