Hardware/Software Security Patches for Internet of Trillions of Things
This addresses security issues for IoT systems, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing patch concepts with hardware integration.
The paper tackles the challenge of providing security for the rapidly growing Internet of Things by proposing hardware/software security patches, specifically 'smart buttons' and 'smart blankets', as an alternative to software-only patches, but no concrete results or numbers are provided.
With the rapid development of the Internet of Things, there are many interacting devices and applications. One crucial challenge is how to provide security. Our proposal for a new direction is to create "smart buttons" and collections of them called "smart blankets" as hardware/software security patches rather than software-only patches.
