[Cryptography] Risks of IOT

[mok-kong shen]

There is a paper by U. Lindqvist and P. G. Neumnnn warning about the 
risks of IOT:

The following is taken from its abstract:

There are already many risks recognizably associated with the IoT. Some 
risks are old and well known, but exacerbated by the unprecedented scale 
of the IoT; estimates for the next few years suggest tens of billions of 
Things. Other risks may be new, stemming from the nature of how these 
Things are designed, what they are used for, how they are deployed and 
managed (or not managed), and how market forces will influence the 
development. In this column, we outline some of those risks and what 
might need to happen if the IoT is to deliver the benefits envisioned 
for it—with a reasonable level of trustworthiness. Our message is 
intended as a wake-up call for computer professionals, but is also 
relevant to everyone involved as a user.
