Inspecting Gadgets: Don’t Forget the Asterisk When Buying Smart Devices

As we approach the holiday buying season, excitement is building for all the new IoT gadgets – “smart” everything for the home, fitness/health trackers and a plethora of connected children’s toys. But this excitement should come with a giant asterisk:

* Are these products safe?

We’ve all seen the horror stories – hacked baby monitors, vulnerable door locks, robot vacuums turned into roving surveillance devices and connected toys pulled from shelves.

Clearly these gadgets need further inspection. This week the Internet Society has joined with Consumers International and Mozilla to advocate for a set of five minimum security and privacy standards IoT manufacturers should follow to improve the safety of their products. Mozilla has incorporated these into their evaluation of 70 products in the latest version of Privacy Not Included, their holiday IoT buyer’s guide. More detailed explanations of the guide and evaluation criteria are also available.

These minimum guidelines are great start to improve IoT security and privacy. They are a subset of our IoT Trust Framework, which comprehensively addresses key security, privacy and lifecycle principles that should be incorporated into IoT offerings. Manufacturers can use this list of principles to practice “trust by design,” resellers can Continue reading

Real-time visibility at 400 Gigabits/s

The chart above demonstrates real-time, up to the second, flow monitoring on a 400 gigabit per second link. The chart shows that the traffic is composed of four, roughly equal, 100 gigabit per second flows.

The data was gathered from The International Conference for High PerformanceComputing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis (SC18) being held this week in Dallas. The conference network, SCinet, is described as the fastest and most powerful network in the world.
This year, the SCinet network includes recently announced 400 gigabit switches from Arista networks, see Arista Introduces 400 Gigabit Platforms. Each switch delivers 32 400G ports in a 1U form factor.
NRE-36 University of Southern California network topology for SuperComputing 2018
The switches are part of 400G demonstration network connecting USC, Caltech and StarLight booths. The chart shows traffic on a link connecting the USC and Caltech booths.

Providing the visibility needed to manage large scale high speed networks is a significant challenge. In this example, line rate traffic of 80 million packets per second is being monitored on the 400G port. The maximum packet rate for 64 byte packets on a 400 Gigabit, full duplex, link is approximately 1.2 billion packet per second Continue reading

How to add IoT functions to legacy equipment

Powerful new Internet of Things (IoT) devices promise to revolutionize everything from farm equipment to satellites. But can those benefits also be added to the enormous installed base of existing, legacy, equipment, and infrastructure? After all, much of that stuff has been in place for decades, if not centuries, and still works just fine. Replacing it all would cost untold trillions, so no matter what the possible profits might be, it’s unlikely to fall out of service any time soon.To read this article in full, please click here
