| Titre | How Blockchain could transform smart-home privacy tech |
| Texte | About the time that Bitcoin was becoming a household name in the cryptocurrency business, an associated up-and-coming technology called blockchain was making waves and being hailed as the next big thing. Then it all but disappeared from the pages of the tech journals and websites. In other words, the big splash never materialized. Looking back, the problem was that it was so new and revolutionary that nobody knew what to do with it yet. Fast forward to 2020 and it looks like we might be getting closer to finally putting blockchain to work protecting all those smart doodads (like the refrigerator that warns you when your milk is out of date) and mobile devices in the face of increasing cyberattacks. Blockchain: Supercharged Data Protection Here’s the funny thing. Though blockchain revolutionary technology is changing the way our financial system is structured, it’s not actually a good solution (yet, more on that later) to IoT privacy issues. At this point in time, blockchain is good for IoT security but bad for privacy. To the layman, this statement might seem contradictory and that’s because the tech media does a rather poor job at explaining the difference between privacy and protection. Protection for the Internet of Things For anyone even remotely familiar with technology, the term Internet of Things (IoT) is a recognizable commodity. This describes the millions and soon to be billions of smart devices in addition to your mobile phone or laptop that are connected to the internet. We’re talking about the aforementioned refrigerator, security systems, smart doorbells, remote access climate control, and many more. The problem that has arisen is that no one really planned for the IoT. It just happened. The trend in the past few years has been to move IoT network data flow to the cloud and benefit from that environment’s greatly increased security. But at the same time, there remains the inherent limitation of so many internet capable devices built with a hodge-podge of operating systems and security capabilities. Device manufacturers eschewed any standards and did their own thing. It wasn’t long before hackers realized that these devices offered a backdoor path (thanks to laughably easy to defeat security protocols) to attack any company or individual who installed a smart device on their network. Home networks, in particular, have been very easy targets for the bad guys. A Blockchain-powered, multiple VPN solution To date, security experts typically recommend consumers install a virtual private network (VPN) on their router as protection against basic cyber security threats. While the encryption and IP address rerouting offered by a VPN makes it exponentially harder to crack your home network, there’s a trust problem with the average VPN. While the majority of service providers are committed to the idea of absolute privacy of your personal data, the reality remains that your connection passes through their server |
