Comments on: Video: Why you shouldn’t care about securing the Internet of things just yet http://gigaom.com/2013/03/04/video-why-you-shouldnt-care-about-securing-the-internet-of-things-just-yet/ Wed, 22 May 2013 15:24:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Gary D http://gigaom.com/2013/03/04/video-why-you-shouldnt-care-about-securing-the-internet-of-things-just-yet/#comment-1318110 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 12:14:36 +0000 http://gigaom.com/?p=616438#comment-1318110 That’s a bit of a mischaracterization of what he’s saying, which is that constantly using security, efficiency and privacy as a starting point for developing IoT systems (which is standard fare at all sorts of industry org events) is not going to result in the scale benefits often touted. Instead using the linking potential and scalable interconnectivity of all these appliances and devices as the starting point (which presupposes strong security models) will make us think more out of the box about possible products.

I’m not sure understand his proposed business model diagram though.

Maybe a group of our meetup attendees will be so inspired they do it again?

A system that authenticates its users and protects its data from theft or misappropriation does not make it less connective. In fact, systems with standards-based security protocols are easier to connect to than not, because their engineers are forced to make the devices communicate in standardized ways, and software developers can’t create their own custom “shortcuts” around protocols. http://www.mocana.com

Unfortunately, I will be out of town for work. Any chance there is another one planned for Boulder (or Colorado) in the near future?
