Robust, Bare-Metal Security that works on any IoT Device (2020)

Status: Available Now

Are you looking to enable security on your IoT device but don’t really know where to start? This is the session for you! We will delve into the elements you need in an embedded design to establish security and explain why the components are necessarily. We will cover the differences between poor, “good enough”, and robust security and explain what you need to do to up your security game in your IoT device in simple, easy-to-follow steps. We will explain how to use a crypto toolbox to establish security fundamentals like: safe-and-secure boot, encrypted and authenticated communication, encrypted data storage, exploit detection/prevention, and more. Start your security journey here!
