Call it a physical and cybersecurity challenge. Innovators and industry experts in Boston Tuesday for the IoT Security 2015 conference brainstormed about some of the Internet of Thing’s most daunting security challenges -- authentication, patching, smart grids, and smart homes – and how to address them.

  •     Who is responsible for patching your smart home – from the cars you drive, the entertainment you watch, the food you store and prepare?
  •     Is it possible to have seamless mutual authentication between users and devices and devices and devices?
  •     What happens if the connections between your smart home and your smart grid stop working and turn against you?
  •     What if the seller of your dream house refuses to give up the keys to the built-in smart devices inside?

These were the hypothetical problems that attendees from a broad range of IoT interests -–manufacturers, the public sector, and security professionals -- chewed on during four lunchtime breakout sessions. Participants were given a specific problem to analyze, after which they presented their solution to the full conference.
