    Syllabus

  • Use cryptography appropriately Video — 00:30:49
    • Cryptography is a primary tool for securing data, but when it is improperly implemented, it can leave data vulnerable while providing a false sense of security.

  • Protect data in motion Video — 00:34:47
    • When data is moved across a network or between software processes, it may be vulnerable to unauthorized viewing or modification. Compromised data may include such things as passwords, session tokens, encryption keys, private user information, account deta

  • Protect data at rest Video — 00:12:10
    • In the life cycle of IoT data, there are numerous points where it “rests” in storage. Some of these locations are inherently more vulnerable than others, but data must be protected in all of the these locations.

  • Protect data in use Video — 00:13:44
    • Not only may data be vulnerable when it is being transferred or in storage, but data may also be vulnerable even when it is in use — in memory, or even when it is undergoing active processing within a processor or microcontroller.
