  1. What Security & Testing Do You Need For Your IoT Device?

  2. What Kind of Security and Testing required? • If you’re creating an Internet of Things device or application, there are top five things to keep in mind during security testing: • Security • 1. ENCRYPTION • 2. AUTHENTICATION • 3. PROTECTION FROM SIDE-CHANNEL ATTACKS • Testing • 1. RANGE • 2. CAPACITY & LATENCY • 3. TESTING FOR MANUFACTURABILITY • 4. APPLICATION-SPECIFIC TESTING • 5. FCC & ETSI/CE COMPLIANCE TESTING

  3. Security1. Encryption • There are two different approaches: • Where the data lives online. • How the data gets to the internet. • The standard practice is to use SSL, which you should use everywhere your data exists. • On the wireless protocol side, you need to be sure the protocol you’re using has built-in encryption.

  4. Security2. Authentication • If your data is encrypted, then be sure your device is talking only to you and that only you can talk to your device. • A consequence of neglecting authentication is that anyone can make up information and send it to you. • You’d have no way to verify that it isn’t real.

  5. Security3. Protection from Side-Channel Attacks • Even with encryption and authentication, there are still other ways to gain illicit access to your system. • Side channel attacks have less to do with the information itself and more with how the information is presented. • The location itself may be encrypted, but the fact that you’re sending a notification can tip someone off and allow for them to gain access. 

  6. Testing1. Range • Keep in mind that the network you’re thinking about will fit your application’s range needs. • A potential customer can purchase development kit, setup a gateway, and take network tester out for a spin. • In a mesh network, adding more repeaters lessens the capacity you have in your system—and eventually you’ll get to a breaking point.

  7. Testing2. Capacity & Latency • Most people want to push the limits of capacity and latency . • To increase the capacity of a network, by definition, you’re increasing the latency. • If you want to bring your latency down, you’re going to affect the capacity of the network negatively.

  8. Testing3. Testing for Manufacturability • When a wireless module rolls off the assembly line, each one goes into a fixture that tests the power output, receiver sensitivity, and frequency accuracy. • To manufacture this type of product, there are a few components you’d have to keep in mind. • You’d need the radio. • You’d put the radio down on your own carrier board, which is usually your own design, with a host device.

  9. Testing4. Application-Specific Testing • If you are going to build a military-specific application, you’ll want to understand all of the specs beforehand and verify that the components you’re adding to your device meet those specs.

  10. Testing 5. FCC & ETSI/CE Compliance Testing • Once your end device is complete, you’ll have to go through FCC (in the U.S.) or ETSI/CE (in Europe) certification. In the U.S. • You could buy a module with a pre-approved certification and put it into your end device, which allows it operate in the 900-928 MHz ISM band.
