=> ↺ The Challenges of IoT, TLS, and Random Number Generators in the Real World
IoT (Internet of things) is now a first-class member of the Internet, communicating with cloud infrastructure. With this come additional requirements to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and authentication for every customer's data. The IETF TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocol is used for almost all Internet traffic security, but TLS is not as secure as the general public believes it to be. The current TLS protocol has been proven secure, but do IoT implementations live up to that promise? IoT does not always have the luxury of hardware RNGs (random number generators) or other features typically found on servers, laptops, or even phone processors. The history of RNGs that have not been as random as expected has led to this question.

I'm currently staying in a Best Western hotel in Eureka, CA, avoiding the Bay Area heat wave, and I noticed something remarkable: the hotel's free WiFi network performs automatic man-in-the-middle interception of all SSH traffic. I've literally never seen this before on public WiFi… Check it out...

If you have been in business long enough, you have probably heard the quote often cited from Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass: “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will lead you there.” And while this quote isn’t verbatim from the book (or the subsequent movie Alice in Wonderland), the sentiment has stood the test of time because it appropriately captures an important strategic premise — that it’s important to be clear on your destination and desired business goals before kicking off a strategic initiative.
