This work highlights a critical problem for IoT users and developers, but it is incremental as it builds on existing security concerns without introducing new technical solutions.
The paper addresses the security and privacy risks posed by the pervasive connectivity of the Internet of Things, arguing that education is a key challenge to mitigate these threats.
The Internet of Things makes possible to connect each everyday object to the Internet, making computing pervasive like never before. From a security and privacy perspective, this tsunami of connectivity represents a disaster, which makes each object remotely hackable. We claim that, in order to tackle this issue, we need to address a new challenge in security: education.
