How IoT Security is Evolving | Crypto Quantique's Shahram Mossayebi

IoT For All Podcast · 26 Jul 2022 · 25m

What this episode covers

Shahram Mossayebi, founder and CEO of Crypto Quantique, explains the evolution of IoT security, arguing that the fragmented ecosystem forces OEMs to deal with excessive complexity and cost. He advocates for 'security by design' through 'unforgeable identities' and 'root of trust' mechanisms, such as quantum tunneling, to simplify end-to-end security. Mossayei highlights recent partnerships with Microchip and Andes Technology to integrate these security layers directly into semiconductor hardware, enabling scalable and secure IoT deployments.

    258: Security Is Another Dimension

    Axel Poschmann, head of the hardware security lab at DarkMatter, discusses embedded security as a trade-off against usability and cost, emphasizing that perfect security is impossible. He outlines a practical workflow for securing IoT devices, including threat modeling, using constant-time crypto libraries, and leveraging low-cost third-party testing or university collaborations when budgets are tight. Poschmann also explains how hardware countermeasures like fuses and physical obfuscation raise the barrier for attackers, referencing standards like Common Criteria and resources such as Christof Paar’s cryptography lectures and ENISA’s guidelines.

    515: Script Boomers

    Nick Kartsioukas, a Senior Security Engineer, discusses the evolving landscape of embedded system security, emphasizing the critical importance of Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) and monitoring the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database. He explains how to secure IoT devices through mutual TLS authentication and hardware roots of trust, while warning against the risks of using complex platforms like the Raspberry Pi in constrained environments. The conversation also covers threat modeling strategies, the crossover between safety and security, and practical advice for engineers to improve their security posture through Capture The Flag (CTF) challenges.

    Security for SoC Interfaces Takes Center Stage in Data Protection

    Dana Neustadter, Senior Product Manager for Security Solutions at Synopsys, explains why securing System-on-Chip (SoC) interfaces is now a mandatory requirement rather than an afterthought. She details how threats vary by application, noting that automotive security is inextricably linked to safety, while IoT devices often lack basic firmware integrity checks. Neustadter highlights Synopsys' Secure Interfaces solution, which integrates hardware root-of-trust and encryption into controllers for standards like PCIe, CXL, and DDR, ensuring data confidentiality and integrity across all links. The discussion concludes with the urgent need to prepare for post-quantum cryptography and the geopolitical fragmentation of security standards.

    Embedded Cybersecurity Basics with Jacob Beningo

    Jacob Beningo, an embedded software consultant and co-founder of the Embedded Online Conference, explains how to integrate security into the embedded development lifecycle without relying on waterfall methods. He details the use of hardware-based isolation, specifically citing ARM TrustZone and Cypress/Infineon PSOC 64 microcontrollers, to establish a root of trust and secure boot processes. Beningo advocates for data-driven architecture and hardware abstraction layers to maintain agility when supply chain issues or security requirements force hardware changes, and introduces ARM's Platform Security Architecture (PSA) as a framework for threat modeling and certification.

    IoT Security & The Importance Certificates with Ellen Boehm, SVP, IoT at Keyfactor

    Ellen Boehm, SVP of IoT at Keyfactor, discusses the critical role of digital certificates and public key infrastructure (PKI) in securing IoT devices, particularly in high-stakes industries like medical and automotive. She explains how Keyfactor helps OEMs manage certificate lifecycles at scale to prevent field failures and prepare for post-quantum cryptography threats. The conversation also covers the challenges of integrating enterprise security solutions with open-source foundations and the emerging need for OT security in industrial automation.
