Objectives
Research and analyze IoT application vulnerabilities
Background / Scenario
The Internet of Things (IoT) consists of digitally connected devices that are connecting every aspect of our
lives, including our homes, offices, cars, and even our bodies to the Internet. With the accelerating adoption of
IPv6 and the near universal deployment of Wi-Fi networks, the IoT is growing at an exponential pace. Industry
experts estimate that by 2020, the number of active IoT devices will approach 50 billion. IoT devices are
particularly vulnerable to security threats because security has not always been considered in IoT product
design. Also, IoT devices are often sold with old and unpatched embedded operating systems and software.
