So far, we have discussed cryptographic algorithms, algorithm inputs, uses, and other important aspects of applied cryptography. Familiarity with cryptographic algorithms is not enough, however. The proper implementation of cryptography in what are called cryptographic modules, though a topic not for the faint of heart, is needed for IoT security. Earlier in my (Van Duren) career, I had the opportunity not only to test many cryptographic devices, but also manage, as laboratory director, two of the largest NIST-accredited FIPS 140-2 cryptographic test laboratories. In this capacity, I had the opportunity to oversee and help validate literally hundreds of different device hardware and software implementations, smart cards, hard drives, operating systems, hardware security modules (HSM), and many other cryptographic devices. In this section, I will share with you some of the wisdom gained from these experiences. But first, we must define a cryptographic module...

Overview of this book
With the advent of Internet of Things (IoT), businesses will be faced with defending against new types of threats. The business ecosystem now includes cloud computing infrastructure, mobile and fixed endpoints that open up new attack surfaces, a desire to share information with many stakeholders and a need to take action quickly based on large quantities of collected data. . It therefore becomes critical to ensure that cyber security threats are contained to a minimum when implementing new IoT services and solutions. . The interconnectivity of people, devices, and companies raises stakes to a new level as computing and action become even more mobile, everything becomes connected to the cloud, and infrastructure is strained to securely manage the billions of devices that will connect us all to the IoT. This book shows you how to implement cyber-security solutions, IoT design best practices and risk mitigation methodologies to address device and infrastructure threats to IoT solutions.
This book will take readers on a journey that begins with understanding the IoT and how it can be applied in various industries, goes on to describe the security challenges associated with the IoT, and then provides a set of guidelines to architect and deploy a secure IoT in your Enterprise. The book will showcase how the IoT is implemented in early-adopting industries and describe how lessons can be learned and shared across diverse industries to support a secure IoT.
