Hype or Myth: Smart Home Security
summary
The talk examines security and privacy of IoT devices by describing a researcher-built smart home used to test claims that IoT is insecure, leaks data, and can be widely hacked. It evaluates whether a vulnerable device can compromise other devices (a cascading or aggregated risk), what in-home devices are actually hackable, and the real-world consequences of those compromises. Technologies referenced include smart-home IoT devices and the methods of empirical testing and risk aggregation used to assess collective security and privacy.
