RISC-V's Role in Securing IoT-Connected Devices

In order to protect the embedded devices that make up the IoT, security must extend beyond software-based cybersecurity into hardware-based security using RISC-V.

allaboutcircuits.com, Jul. 24, 2019 – 

While the Internet of Things may have seemed like a pipe dream of the future just a few years ago, today it's hard to classify it as anything less than a growing success. In fact, some analysts predict that the IoT is growing so fast, it could surpass 75 Billion connected devices by 2025.

And, although the term IoT normally conjures images of consumer tech, connected coffee pots, and smart refrigerators, these are only a fraction of the greater ecosystem–much of which is currently being deployed by corporations. In fact, a 2018 report from Trustwave found that 64 percent of the organizations they surveyed had deployed IoT devices, with another 20 percent saying they plan to do so in 2019.

However, as more and more technology is being hooked up to the internet, only a minority of users are taking IoT cybersecurity into account. More precisely, only about 28 percent of Trustwave survey respondents said they consider an IoT cybersecurity strategy to be "very important."

While users remain relatively lax about cybersecurity, device makers are starting to fret about the vulnerabilities connected devices present to users and networks. As an Eclipse Foundations report uncovered, security requirements are the top obstacle to developing connected devices, according to a whopping 60 percent of survey respondents.
