Building Touch-Less Trust in IoT Devices

Cryptography and Security 2024-10-01 v1

Abstract

Trust mechanisms for Internet of Things (IoT) devices are commonly used by manufacturers and other ecosystem participants. However, end users face a challenge in establishing trust in devices, particularly as device encounters become more frequent thanks to the proliferation of new and unique products. Communication or even physical interaction with a device can expose a user to various threats, such as biometric theft or exploit of their own device. To address this, we propose a mechanism for verifying the integrity and trustworthiness of an IoT device before physical interaction or any significant communication has taken place.
