Description
Smart devices interact with us and our world in countless ways, often without direct interaction from us. So how can we establish trust that these devices are behaving properly and securely? Research has shown smart devices equipped with biometric sensors can be turned into wireless biometric thieves. Therefore, we need a way to establish the cyber-safety of devices before we even touch them. We possess the building blocks for building such trust: cryptography, authentication, and wireless communication to give a few examples. But what would an architecture and framework for establishing trust look like, and how would it work?
