Security best practices
The IoT security strategy defines how to secure data in the cloud and protect data integrity, while IoT device telemetry data does the communication over the public internet, and securely provisions IoT devices which are continuously running and collecting data in the field. One needs to work on this strategy from the manufacturing, development, and deployment of IoT devices and their implementation infrastructure.
How to do it...
In this recipe we will try to use the security practices:
- Design the hardware such that it should be operational for the minimum required activity and time. Some IoT devices are battery-powered and can live a long life if this strategy is followed.
- Tampering with the device in the field is critical. While designing the concept of any IoT device, how it can be tamper-free needs to be considered. One could have an event or alarm raised when a device is physically handled.
- Any IoT device upgrade should be done in a secure way. This could be through...
