In this episode of The Security Ledger podcast (#128): you're going to hear a lot from the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) out in Las Vegas this week, but are any of the new gadgets being released secure? And do security and privacy have a seat at the table at the world's largest electronics event? We sit down with IoT luminary and influencer Stacey Higginbotham of the Internet of Things podcast and the StaceyonIoT blog to find out.

In this Spotlight Podcast, sponsored by Trusted Computing Group*, Dennis Mattoon of Microsoft Research gives us the low-down on DICE: the Device Identifier Composition Engine Architectures, which provides a means of  solving a range of security and identity problems on low cost, low power IoT endpoints. Among them: establishing strong device identity, doing device attestation and safe deployment at scale and verifying software updates.  Secure identities are the foundation of secure ecosystems. At the risk of oversimplifying: without a foundation of strong identity, there can be no real security. We know that intuitively just from our experiences online, where phishing attacks and identity theft are rampant – often taking advantage of weak identities like user names and passwords, or Social Security Numbers. It’s especially true of the Internet of Things, where both the diversity and scale of connected endpoints create endless opportunities for mischief and mayhem. We have seen, for example, […]
