"An Open Source Effort to Encrypt the Internet of Things"

Teserakt, a Swiss firm specialized in cryptography, recently introduced a type of cryptographic implant named E4, which is aimed at providing end-to-end encryption for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. E4 would be integrated into IoT manufacturers' servers to support consistent protection as IoT data traverse the web. The implementation of E4 will ensure the encryption of data transmitted between IoT devices and their manufacturers. However, IoT developers need to keep in mind that E4 only touches on one component of data protection, not the security of the IoT devices themselves or the protection of a manufacturers' servers from being compromised. Security still needs to be considered in the design and management of IoT devices and their servers. This article continues to discuss the aim and development of Teserakt's E4, as well as the need for larger services to continue their efforts toward enhancing encryption for peripherals and IoT devices.
