LG301 : Security - Separation Anxiety and
Devices in the Wild

My day job is writing cloud systems for thousands of devices that plug into our electricity network and draw a lot of power… security is the thing that keeps me up at night.

In that scenario, my code is encrypted and is running in a Data Centre where you have to have someone's eyeball and finger to get in... What we are proposing here is giving someone your code, sending your code out into the world on a device they can crack open!

Just how secure are we at this point?

well... you need a Philips and a Flat-Head to get the board out, so that's something I guess!

We're out of scope here, so I'll update this later but...

Some Topics for Consideration...
