Network Approaches to Improving Consumer IoT Security
Jordan Melzer, Jacques Latour, Michael D. Richardson, Ali Aisha, Wahab Almuhtadi · 2020
Internet of Things devices are the largest, fastest growing, longest-lived, and least secure category of Internet hosts. Insecure consumer IoT devices threaten other home devices and distributed denial of service attacks from IoT botnets pose a growing threat to Internet services. We examine threats to, and by, IoT devices and develop a framework to protect consumer IoT devices from compromise and limit the threat they can pose in-turn to other home and Internet hosts. We indicate prioritized steps that ISPs and manufacturers can take to improve home IoT security.Framework components are hosted at https://github.com/CIRALabs
