Data created by Internet of Things (IoT) sensors must be secured better, say some. A simple password-on-device solution is no longer sufficient thanks to increasing data protection regulations, a new public awareness of tracking, and hugely proliferating devices.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A new kind of architecture using Security Agents should be aggressively built into local routers and networks to handle IoT security and computation rather than offloading the number-crunching to a data center or the cloud, or indeed trying to perform it on the resource-limited IoT device, IEEE researchers say. In other words, IoT security should be handled at the network level rather than device for best results.<\/p>\n

Boxes containing the necessary hardware could be developed specifically for the purpose, where traditional, but newly security-modified, routers aren\u2019t applicable\u2014such as in a smart vehicular setting, like by the side of a road.<\/p>\n
