Jen (@RebelbotJen) joined Chris and Elecia to discuss security, privacy, and ethics in wearable computing.

Elecia's Linker post is especially relevant this week: Device Security Checklist..

There is already a standard for privacy and security: HIPAA (Title II). While not easy to read, it is a reasonable starting place. Another good (but not quite on-point) resource is the EFF Secure Messaging Scorecard, especially if you consider your device as messaging your user (it's a metaphor, ok?). Also, read all the way to the methodology, not just the pretty checkboxes.

Mike Ryan has great explanations for how to easily crack BLE security. Video to watch. His website has more resources, papers, videos, tools.

The Embedded Systems Conference (Silicon Valley) will be held at the Santa Clara convention center July 20-22.

• Wearables and IoT Growing Up: Talking To Your Products About Security And Ethics(Jen, Wed 11am)
• Teardown: Wearing Security on Your Sleeve (mostly Jen with Elecia telling jokes if/when things go wrong, Tue 1:30pm, on the show floor so free to attend with an Expo pass. We'll be taking apart a Nymi band.)
• Faker to Maker in 45 Minutes or Less (Elecia, Wed 1:30pm)
