IOT

The

Future of IoT Security
We may not see the kind of password inflation that has emerged in the past 20 years – according to the Prove research , respondents had six “ go-to ” passwords which are used across the broad range of accounts in their lives – but there is unlikely to be one biometric to rule them all .
“ It is useful to have multiple solutions because the same biometrics are not equally suited to different devices ,” says Furnell . “ For example , face recognition would not work well with smart speakers . At the same time , there will be some classes of IoT device that do not have any suitable sensors as standard , such as a smart thermostat or washing machine ; neither could be relied upon to have a camera or microphone .”
In these cases , devices would be required to work together , with the biometric captured on one being shared with another in a secure , trustworthy manner .
