The Essential Need for Explicit IoT Identities
Session Abstract:
Most identity solutions currently used in the Internet focus on non-explicit identity for individuals for use in e-commerce and other human-centric applications. While these solutions work well for their intended use cases, in the case of the IoT, the potential high cost of abuse requires much more explicit identity solutions for both home and industrial use cases. The talk will present an overview of the requirements for an effective explicit identity solution for the IoT as well as how these requirements can be addressed.
